Rod Stewart is one of the great singers of the rock era. His interpretive acuity, sweet rasp, blues influences and sharp phrasing have afforded him the ability to make a few lapses in song selection--which is to say that in his ragged engagingly individual way, even a lesser song like "Muddy, Sam And Otis" works.
Give him a great song, though, and Stewart shines as brightly as any vocalist in the rock firmament. Here he takes on Tom Waits' insolent "Hang On St. Christopher"; the liltingly romantic "The Downtown Lights"; the traditional Celtic song "Purple Heather" (sorry, Rod, but the typo must have slipped by your eyes when you were credited with writing this song); and Sam Cooke's soul-dripping "Soothe Me." His version of Bob Dylan's early-'80s nugget "Sweetheart Like You" is breathtakingly original.
A patchwork of styles and temperments, A SPANNER IN THE WORKS is more sedate than Stewart's previous records. But at 50 years of age and with four years having passed since his last studio album, VAGABOND HEART, it's a good bet Stewart himself has lived these mood changes.

Editorial reviews ...his singing seems surer than ever, and that's what makes this his best album since EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY....this SPANNER definitely works.
Musician (09/01/1995)

...Chris Rea's song 'Windy Town' [is] a piece of creamy gravelled Rodnocity that ranks with anything he's performed for, ooh, 20 years....the customary good taste prevails, most notably on 'Downtown Lights'...never a dull moment.
Mojo (07/01/1995)
