Rod Stewart - Gasoline Alley - Jo's lament

[scouserla1]

this song is a true story about the child his girlfriend had when they were both very young, alas she was given up for adoption & he finally met up with her about 40 years later

Hey, folks...Yeah, this IS some exquisite music, huh? I knew (way back when) that I would be listening to these tunes late in life. (I'm 53 now...) Martin Quintenton played a LOT of guitar w/Rod back then, Tetsu wasn't around, yet. Kenny and Ian were in the Small Faces with Steve Marriot. Anyways, ENJOY!

i think ron wood plays the 12 string on this. not sure though.

[BillyG76bg]

On guitar, I believe, is Martin Quintenton. (Spelling?) Ronnie Wood on bass. I'll try to find the rest of them. I have this album in storage, somewhere. darn!

@BillyG76bg That's probably it, There's no B3 organ or Drums, so Ian Maclagan and Kenny jones wern't part of this track... Also, Tetsu may well have been on bass... Just a possibility.

Very nice under the radar track. Who is on guitar? Exquisite.
