Product Description

Long revered as one of planet Earth's great rockers, Rod Stewart now reveals his inner crooner on 'It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook'. Achieving a gentle tone and poignancy that we've never heard from him before, Stewart adds his distinctive rasp to a whole host of standards - including 'These Foolish Things', which features a solo by saxophonist Dave Koz; the 1924 classic 'It Had to Be You', featuring a solo by Michael Brecker, the 1938 classic 'You Go To My Head'; 'They Can't Take That Away From Me' written by George and Ira Gershwin in 1938; 1936's 'The Way You Look Tonight' written by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields; the 1930's love song 'The Very Thought of You', as well as 'For All We Know', 'Where Or When', 'Moonglow', 'Everytime We Say Goodbye' and many, many more.

ロッドのファンではないが、彼の声は嫌いじゃないし、寺島靖国さんが某HPで推薦してたし、好きなスタンダード曲が一杯だし、、という理由で買いました。はっきり言って、いいです。ロックもジャズも関係ない、名曲・名唱です。個人的にジャケが嫌いなので1点減点。。

ビリー・ホリディの名盤〔奇妙な果実〕の9曲目がI’ll Be Seeing You…そしてロッドも9曲目に収録。憎い演出とスイングJAZZ…素敵なアルバムです!

アメリカでは大ヒットしたアルバムなのに、日本では相変わらず。ジャズを聞いた事は無いに等しかったですが、ロッドが唄うと最高です。車などのBGMには最適です。ただ、やっぱりロックしてる彼が一番ですね。という事で9点。
