Rod Stewart to release 'Soulbook'

Rod Stewart to release Soulbook


Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Rod Stewart will be releasing SOULBOOK on November 9th (RCA Records), a collection of classic Sixties/Seventies-era soul favourites all newly recorded by the quintessential 'blue eyed soul' singer of our generation.

Rod recently said in Rolling Stone’s "Greatest Singers of All Time" issue that at the age of 15, he used to listen to soul singers on the radio like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, and blues singers like Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, and knew that is how he wanted to sing. Elton John said 'Bar none, Rod’s the best singer I've heard in rock 'n' roll. He's also the greatest white soul singer' and in 2006, James Brown called Stewart "the best white soul singer."

The album features two stunning superstar duets, one with Mary J. Blige joining Rod on the Stylistics’ 70s hit 'You Make Me Feel Brand New' and the other with Jennifer Hudson on 'Let It Be Me,' inspired by the Jerry Butler/Betty Everett duet.
