well after checking a few lyric sites it seems they agree it "fourteen years" but dont you think 40 years sounds more dramatic lol ..I stand corrected Luc ..love the song ..thanks for the upload :)
@wilma240655 everyone thinks that is sick but i love him so much its the best i will ever do is have his song when i paSS AWAY SORRY IF I HAVE OFFENDED ANYONE
I spent the summer in Atlantic City (before gambling) and this song along with Take it Easy by The Eagles became something of an anthem for my rather large group of friends. I was dating a girl from Temple U and I was attending school in northern New England and we played this song a lot before we each went our separate ways. Jeanne was a lovely girl and after we parted we never saw each other again.
@goboats NOPE ! I've been listening to this song for almost 40 years, and he {I promise, hope to die} says," coldest winter, in almost fourteen years"
What a great down 'n dirty rock 'n roll outfit these guys where. Not crazy about Rods solo stuff, but with The Faces he rocked. God bless Ronnie Lane.
If you don't like this song, stop listening to music because you know nothing about music. Mandolin Wind is an absolute classic. One of the best songs EVER!!

I saw him once, Jeff Beck was with him, was one of the greatest musical moments of my life! Hey, the man is a huge part of our "good" musical history, he's older now and has grown older gracefully, if that makes him a lounge singer then so be it. He still has his voice, his performing talent and his love of music, you can't take anything away from him, he is the one and only Rod! All his albums have been great, if this is all you know of him you haven't really looked very hard! Damn people!
geez, I am an 'OLD-Timer but have never heard this awesome, great, terrific, wonderful song!!!!! Stewart has a great voice,but was never one of my favorites. After hearing this i might just change my mind. This is the best I ever heard from him. Pleasantly surprised :)
@twoshedtunes John Peel could neither sing nor play a note on a musical instrument. Maybe being the greatest ever radio DJ was enough. He did, however once mime on the mandolin on Top of the Pops.
SEEMS LIKE I ONCE HEARD AN INTERVIEW W/R.S. ABOUT THIS ALBUM,HE SAID THAT THE ENTIRE BAND WERE OUT OF THIER MINDS WHEN THEY MADE THIS ALBUM..LMAO.. THO HE (R.S.) SAID THAT THEY WOULD'NT DO SUCH A THING NOW,B/C THEY HAVE FAR,FAR TOO MUCH TO LOSE NOW..
first saw Rod 1974 with the Faces at the Free Trade Hall Manchester u.k. a memory i will never forget and i was lucky enough to meet him a couple of years later
Lucilja1729, I will agree "Every Picture...." was the best collection of tunes Rod The Mod recorded for Mercury, (IMHO) "Atlantic Crossing" will be eventually judged as Rod Stewart's greatest recorded effort, but, that being said "Mandolin Wind" just may well be his greatest song, at least from his Mercury days! Regardless, thanks for the upload, Hell Yes I love this song!
just so cheesy, except he's n o camambert. When the Normans had had enough of this awful island and went back home to \france they left us Rod to keep us warm in winter
@NowMyPoundsHaveRunOu What!! The Normans left. No they didnt we are the decendants.This awful island!! No it isnt. Can you enlighten me as to how Rod is Norman. His father was ascot his mother was cockney He was born in London. I think he's English even though he thinks hes a Scot. Where Norman comes in I can only wondwr
One of my favorites from Rod Stewart but hard to listen to right now; and healing as well. For you Lorna, See you in Heaven when we are together again.
vreau sa cred ca nu va supara o parere exprimata in limba romana; melodiile lui Rod ,din deceniul VIII al secolului trecut, sunt emblematice pentru ceea ce inseam-na exprimare lirica a rockului. Va ramane in sufletul si inima celui ce iubeste frumosul ca prietenul nelipsit al petrecerilor de altadata (ceaiuri cum se numeau prin Romania). Multumim Rod Stewart ! mai-11-2011; 00:30 AM.
There's a great version of this song out on DVD called "Unplugged and Seated" Rod and Ronnie together again. Its also been re-released again on DVD, I think with more song's, I'm not sure on that one. But it is a live version with Rod playing the banjo, and Ronnie cracking a funny joke about Rod having to play an instrument on stage. Beautiful song............
Gorgeous. This song gives me such strength. It's gotten me through some hard times. It's so full of hope and love. So glad I got to see him do this live before his disco #$%^.
a guilty pleasure these days now i read the guardian rather than the sun, kafka rather than enid blyton, vote bnp rather than snp, pick my ears with an opium pipe rather than just with a pipe, give the missus a beating rather than just a slap or two, just cheer on Cameron rather than put up with Blair, etc, etc
Rod gets full composer credit for this track but admits on the vinyl sleeve-notes that he was well supported by The Faces throughout on the album. I'm sure Ron Wood's three guitars helped make it No 1 on both sides of the Atlantic simultaneously.
for god sakes, just hand me my anti-wrinkle cream before i........aaaargh
