This is one of the more beautiful, haunting ballads from the early 70\'s.The slide, and multiple guitar parts, they integrate so beautifully. Rod\'s voice is staggeringly good here. \n\nThe lyrics fill me with a melancholy and a yearning. Going home, carry me home. Take me back, carry me back. It fills me. \n\nThe final long howl at the end. it never fails to bring a tingle down the length of my spine. It\'s really something else. \n\nThis is a beautiful number. From around 1970 or so, to 1975 or thereabouts, Rod Stewart had one of the greatest careers in the history of rock and roll. Between the solo albums he did for Mercury, and the albums he cut with the Faces, few singers have had a more stand out career. Taken together, it\'s some of the greatest rock music ever made. This track is a prime example of that.
