Love Chronicles

Al Stewart

A confessional folk landmark defined by sprawling eighteen-minute narratives, Jimmy Page's guest guitar work, and startlingly honest 1960s sexual politics.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jarring use of profanity in the title track that broke 1969 folk conventions.
Jimmy Page's subtle, fluid electric guitar soloing that weaves through the sprawling title track.
The shift from observational character sketches to raw, first-person autobiography halfway through the album.
