Background

Storyteller spans the whole of Stewart’s career beginning with the 1964 release of "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" and ending with "Downtown Train", a new song for 1989. It was designed for release in the US and contains four discs each covering a different period somewhat chronologically. Disc one spans 1964–1971 and includes "Can I Get a Witness?" recorded while Rod was with Steampacket and which had never before been released. Disc two spans 1971–1976. Disc three spans 1975–1981 and includes "To Love Somebody" featuring Booker T. & the M.G.'s. In the liner notes Rod recalls that this version was recorded shortly before Al Jackson, Jr. was killed. Disc four spans 1981–1989 and includes never before released versions of "I Don't Want to Talk About It" and "This Old Heart of Mine". Originally released in an LP-sized box package, it was re-released on 17 November 2009 in a more compact boxed configuration.
