Rod Stewart to cover nation’s remaining songs on final “American Songbook” release
Rod the Bod is turning out the lights on the United States. And, Canada, he’s heading your way.
After years of producing covers for his “Great American Songbook” series, Rod Stewart has reached the end. The final disc will feature the only previously un-Rodded songs in American music history.
Included on the album, to be released Oct. 16, are such unforgettables as “Heartbeat” (originally recorded by Don Johnson), “Let the Eagle Soar” (John Ashcroft) and “Grab Them Cakes” (Junk Yard Dog).
In early 2008, Stewart will release The Great Canadian Songbook I. The first single will be Bryan Adams’ parts on “All For Love” from the soundtrack of 1993’s Three Musketeers.
