The Great American Songbook concept began with Rod Stewart himself
who brought the idea to Clive Davis, and now, alongside renowned producers Phil Ramone and Richard Perry. The album is a virtual treasure chest of musical gems arranged and recorded for a wideranging,
multi-generational audience. And what’s so special is to have a rock n’ roll icon stepping into this musical terrain with such a command and natural feel for the material. Rod’s voice finds itself wrapped around a never before assemblage of songs which include the 1930’s standard “These Foolish
Things” which features a solo by saxophonist Dave Koz; the 1924 classic “It Had to Be You” featuring a solo by Michael Brecker, the 1938 classic “You Go To My Head”; “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” written by George
and Ira Gershwin in 1938; 1936’s “The Way You Look Tonight” written by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields; the 1930’s love song “The Very Thought of You” as well as “For All We Know”, “Where or When”, “Moonglow”,
“Everytime We Say Goodbye” and much more.
