The album flows through a mix of covers and originals, including “Sweet Little Rock 'N' Roller” and “Bring It On Home To Me \/ You Send Me,” where Stewart’s voice rides a small ensemble that brings a relaxed yet purposeful feel. Its Mercury Records release finds Stewart stretching into more intimate territory, balancing rock roots with moments that invite a quieter kind of attention. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a rock singer decides to put down the electric guitar for a moment, here’s your answer. This 1974 pressing stands as a solid example of that era’s vinyl, presenting the album as intended without fuss or frills. The record grades at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG+\u003c\/a\u003e, meaning it shows light surface marks and minor scuffs typical of regular use but nothing likely to distract from the music itself. Whether you’re adding to a Rod Stewart collection or exploring his quieter side, this pressing offers a straightforward listening experience that respects the album’s warm, acoustic focus. It’s a reminder that even a “Smiler” can have a serious side—sometimes the grin comes with a bit of grit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRod Stewart - Smiler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Little Rock 'N' Roller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLochinvar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarewell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSailor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBring It On Home To Me \/ You Send Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet Me Be Your Car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Natural Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDixie Toot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Grown Accustomed To Her Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGirl From The North Country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMine For Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UgFva_pLdG0\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1RuMPrVES7OeG5Nam0N8mJ\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG+ \/ VG+ \/ 1974","offer_id":68177220403516,"sku":"DEN00001954","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/OTUtNzQ1NC5qcGVn_7783b17e-6e3c-4d31-81c9-945b0f2da14f.jpg?v=1794690127","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/rod-stewart-smiler-lp-111426-den00001954","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
