Great American Songbook songs Those who still think of Rod Stewart as a rebellious rock-&-roll bad boy haven't been paying much attention to his transformation into a purveyor of classics-oriented, adult contemporary fare in the early 2000s. The shaggy-haired one now appears in suits and ties on the covers of his GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOKS series, which present his distinctive, raspy voice performing everything from "Stardust" to "It Had To Be You" to "My Funny Valentine." THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK box collects all four of Stewart's SONGBOOK albums in one set (the box includes a full-color booklet with photographs and an essay). And with a bonus DVD that features selections from Stewart's 2004 appearance at the Apollo Theater and one of his videos, this deluxe package makes a great gift for fans of standards and Stewart, who handles the material with passion and aplomb. Great American Songbook CD music is a 4-disc set with 59 songs. ...See Full Description

| Fantastic! Love my purchase. Love the songs and Rod Stewart! He does a great rendition of these classics. A must have for your CD collection. By Barbara (Charlotte, NC)  |
| loved it for a rod stewart fan, this is a must have. By christineoneill (Fort McMurray, AB, Canada)  |
| surprised You would think a legend like this would have come up with an original song in the last 30 years. The fact that he is covering some best forgotten tunes, have shown how overrated this guy is. By todd (rhode island) |
| Rusty-voiced rocker hits again! Rod Stewart has done a remarkable job of rendering old romantic songs in a mellower version of his trademark rusty voice. Somehow, it enhances the messages of these songs, perhaps because it makes him sound earnest in his delivery. By ctrusler (Las Vegas, NV)  |
