'You Wear It Well' is a 'Maggie May' rewrite on the surface, but it develops into a touching song about being emotionally inarticulate. It's possible to hear Stewart go for superstardom with the hard-rocking kick and fat electric guitars of the album, but the songs still cut to the core. Opening with the touching, autobiographical rocker 'True Blue,' which finds Rod Stewart trying to come to grips with his newfound stardom but concluding that he'd 'rather be back home,' the record is the last of Stewart's series of epic fusions of hard rock and folk. Essentially a harder-rocking reprise of Every Picture Tells a Story, Never a Dull Moment never quite reaches the heights of its predecessor, but it's a wonderful, multi-faceted record in its own right.
