Atlantic Crossing
is the sixth
solo album
by
Released on
August,15th 1975,
and recorded in
five American studios
including
Muscle Shoals,
Alabama,
between
April and June 1975,
it was produced by
Tom Dowd,
and peaked at
number one
in the UK
(his fourth solo album to do so),
and number nine
on the
Billboard
Top Pop
Albums chart.
The album was divided
into a fast side
and a slow side,
apparently at the
suggestion of
Stewart's
then-girlfriend,
Swedish actress
Britt Ekland.
Stewart would repeat
the format
for his next
two albums.
The album contained
two of Stewart's
most popular songs,
"Sailing"
and
"I Don't Want to Talk About It”,
and classic
rock favourites
"Three Time Loser"
and
"Stone Cold Sober".
The album was the
14th of
Stewart's career,
starting with
Jeff Beck's
Truth
in 1968,
and his
sixth solo.
The album was
recorded in five
different American studios:
A&R
(New York),
Criteria
(Miami),
Wally Heider's Studio 3
(Hollywood),
Hi Recording Studio
(Memphis),
and
Muscle Shoals
(Alabama)
between
April and June 1975,
and produced by
Tom Dowd,
who had been
the engineer or
producer for many of
Stewart's heroes
during Dowd's time
at Atlantic Records.
With
Atlantic Crossing,
Stewart ended his
association
with
Ronnie Wood,
Ian McLagan
and the stable
of musicians
who had been his
core collaborators
on his classic run
of albums for
Mercury Records,
fusing soul and folk.
Instead,
he used a group of
session musicians,
including
The Memphis Horns
and
Booker T. and the MG's.
The only song performed
from this album
on
The Faces' final US tour
in autumn 1975
was
"Three Time Loser",
and the rest of
the group
heavily disliked
Stewart's change
in musical direction
on this album.
Following the success
of the album,
and his move
to the U.S.,
Stewart announced his exit
from the Faces
by the end
of the year.
