Thanks For The Memory...The Great American Songbook IV
Date undefinedLove Rod Stewart and love this series of CD's and have all of them which may be the reason I thought I might have already reviewed it.
My bad!
Thanks For The Memory...The Great American Songbook IV
Date undefinedI love the standards and am delighted when rockers of my generation also love them. I have the whole series of Stewart's standards albums and they are great. The perfect music for a stressful ride home from work.

Date undefinedOh my Lord! I thought it was bad when Michael Bolton decided he could sing art songs. Rod Stewart as a rocker, whether you liked him or not, was a great example of the genre. He was fun, engaging, and effective. He is simply terrible at this.
His raspy voice is the only thing that sets him apart... but it doesn't add anything to his "interpretations"--mostly bland arrangements with no sense of style, no imagination, and no class. Sorry, Dude. This transformation only worked for Linda Ronstadt.
The fact that these are great pieces of music simply can't overcome the fact that he doesn't know how to do this style. Eww.
