LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Rod Stewart's latest musical adventure is the great -- mostly -- American rock 'n' roll songbook.
After four platinum-plus albums of Great American Songbook pop standards, Stewart's new album -- "Still the Same ... Great Rock Classics of Our Time" -- finds him covering favorites by Bob Dylan, the Eagles, Bob Seger, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Van Morrison and others.
"It feels good," says Stewart, who has released a rock-oriented album in a decade. "(Rock) was where I was born. It's the thing I do best, probably. So it's just wonderful to be doing it again."
CCR's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" is the album's first single, while Stewart also takes on Bonnie Tyler's 1978 hit "It's a Heartache," which was often mistaken for a Stewart song when it first came out.
