Featured Artist - Rod Stewart

 

Rod Stewart, born Roderick David Stewart on January 10, 1945 in London, is enjoying a career in its fifth decade.

With the release of Still the Same...Great Rock Classics of our Time, Rod Stewart returns to his roots. A landmark recording of great songs by his contemporaries, and Stewart’s first rock album in over eight years, Still the Same... follows the unprecedented success of his Grammy-award winning Great American Songbook series. The four volumes of The Great American Songbook, released between 2002 and 2005, comprise the biggest selling ongoing series of new music recordings in history, with a total of fifteen million copies worldwide.

Having developed a whole new audience through the "Songbook" series, with Still the Same...Great Rock Classics of our Time, Rod Stewart has once again changed his tune.

It starts, of course, with the voice. A voice referred to as "the single greatest male singing voice of the rock era." A voice so distinctive, said "Songbook" III and IV producer Steve Tyrell, that "he sings just two notes and you know it’s Rod Stewart."

From brash pub-rocker to sophisticated balladeer, from soul man to folk troubadour to rock & roll shouter, Rod Stewart has been able to change sound and style over and over again. But one thing that’s never changed is the power of his singing. Four decades later, that truly is still the same.
