Our Take

Rod Stewart – The Great American Songbook

Rod Stewart, the beloved gravel-voiced crooner, has returned with yet another installment of his Great American Songbook series. With classics such as "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "My Funny Valentine," Stewart brings his signature charm and rasp to these timeless tunes.

While some may argue that Stewart's interpretations lack the finesse of the original versions, there's no denying the pure joy and nostalgia that his renditions evoke. You can't help but tap your feet and sing along as Stewart's voice transports you back to a bygone era of jazz clubs and cocktail parties.

The arrangements on this album are lush and full, with sweeping strings and jazzy piano solos that perfectly complement Stewart's vocals. The production is top-notch, with every instrument crisp and clear in the mix.

But what truly sets this album apart is Stewart's unmistakable charisma. His playful banter between songs and infectious energy shine through, making this a joy to listen to from start to finish.

In a world full of auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured hits, Rod Stewart's The Great American Songbook is a breath of fresh air. So pour yourself a glass of whiskey, sit back, and let Stewart serenade you with these timeless classics. You won't be disappointed.

Rod Stewart: The Crooner with a Twinkle in His Eye Rod Stewart, the raspy-voiced crooner with a penchant for flashy suits and even flashier hair, has been captivating audiences for over five decades with his unique blend of rock, pop, and soul. With his distinctive gravelly voice and unmistakable stage presence, Stewart has solidified his place as one of the most iconic figures in the music industry. Born in North London in 1945, Stewart began his musical career in the 1960s as a member of the rock band The Jeff Beck Group before going on to achieve even greater success as a solo artist. With hits like "Maggie May," "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" and "Forever Young," Stewart has proven time and time again that he has a knack for producing irresistible pop anthems that stand the test of time. But it's not just his music that sets Stewart apart - it's his larger-than-life personality and cheeky sense of humor that have endeared him to fans around the world. Whether he's dancing across the stage in his signature leopard-print trousers or sharing anecdotes from his wild rockstar days, Stewart never fails to entertain. Despite his numerous accolades and awards, Stewart remains humble and down-to-earth, always displaying a genuine love and passion for music. With his gravelly voice, infectious energy, and boundless charisma, Rod Stewart continues to prove that age is just a number, and that true talent never goes out of style. So grab a glass of champagne, kick back, and let the smooth sounds of Rod Stewart whisk you away on a nostalgic journey through the decades.
