This reminds me of one of the great mysteries of rock and roll: How did a singer with so much talent i.e Rod Stewart, who did some pretty great work early in his career become the sop (musically) he is today?
The guitar sound reminds me of a cut of Hoochie Coochie man from a Muddy Waters tribute album featuring the vocals of Paul Rodgers (Free) with Steve Miller playing jokey ( and some classic) guitar riffs behind him.
Incidentally Jeff Beck appears on the same album.
Miller was a highly talented guitarist (actually a prodigy of Les Paul), who it seems never really realized the limits of his playing, being content to relax after achieving commercial success. The Joker.

I borrowed the "Jeff Beck At Ronny Scotts" dvd recently, he is some player, guest spots from Clapton, Imogen Heep, Joss Stone, superb little bassist too! All stars in the audience too, no wonder they call him The Gov'nor.
I saw him in Beck, Bogart and Appice in the 70's, Appice did an awesome solo. At the allotted point he starts his solo, the other two supped their pints, then on came the dry ice, flooding the stage. This drifted away, leaving a drummer-free drum set, with the solo going on over the PA. We were all slightly bemused for a bit. Then the dry ice flooded back in and covered the stage. When it all disappeared there was Appice drumming on as if nothing had happened. Awesome, and seamless, we couldn't hear any seams between Appice,PA, and Appice. Real showmanship. A great night
Then you'll love this video of Rod Stewart surprising Jeff Beck on stage in L.A. recently : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T43m6dcMk6U&feature=PlayList&p=825832618C772EC8&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=3
Never knew that Rod Stewart was part of Jeff Beck. Even in my young age, 27, I am still a fan of anything Rod!

I'm having a hard time figuring out why this only has an average rating of 6.9. I always thought it was a monster - from when I first heard it as a high school kid and still now. Whenever I put this CD on, this is still the song I'm looking forward to the most. From the comment below, I'd really like to hear the Beck, Bogart, and Appice version.
