    Vagabond Heart is the sixteenth studio album by British recording artist Rod Stewart, released on 25 March 1991 by Warner Bros. Records.[16] The album reached No. 10 in the US, and reached No. 2 in the UK. The album features five singles, among them a coverofRobbie Robertson's song "Broken Arrow" (No. 20 in the US) and Van Morrison's song "Have I Told You Lately", which would become a hit two years later (in a live version), and is Stewart's most recent top five solo hit in the US and the UK. The two biggest hits from the album were "Rhythm of My Heart" (No. 3 in the UK/No. 5 in the US) and "The Motown Song" (No. 10 in the UK and US). The latter song features Steve Lukather, David Paich, Steve Porcaro and Jeff Porcaro (nearly the entirety of Toto).

    The "Vagabond Heart Tour" was made available on video in 1992, shot during a concert in Los AngelesonValentine's Day.[17]

    Critical reception[edit]

    Overall, the album received positive reviews. According to Rolling Stone, "Vagabond Heart finds Stewart rising to new challenges as both a songwriter and a singer. The strength of the songs and the depth of Stewart's conviction make this his most compelling work since the early 1970s."[18]

    AllMusic felt the album was "stronger, more diverse album than its predecessor, Out of Order, featuring a more consistent set of songs."[19][20]
