Never A Dull Moment is a 1972 album by the rock musician Rod Stewart. Never A Dull Moment was a UK No. 1 (for two weeks) and also reached No. 2 on the US charts the same year. The track "You Wear It Well", co-written by Stewart and classical guitarist Martin Quittenton, was a smash hit (another UK No. 1; in USA No. 13), as well as "Twistin' The Night Away", a song originally recorded by Sam Cooke.
Other guest musicians included Ray Jackson of the band Lindisfarne on mandolin, Spike Heatley on stand-up bass, Gordon Huntley on steel guitar, Dick Powell on violin.
"Mama You Been On My Mind" is a cover version of a Bob Dylan song. Stewart's version is one of the songs featured in Nick Hornby's book 31 Songs.
