Title: Don't Waste Your Money!
Review: First of all, Rod's voice is in no way, shape or form suited to these great "American Standards". These classic songs need a voice to compliment them and Rod's definitely doesn't. Secondly, here we go again with Clive Davis trying to put Rod Stewart into a Barry Manilow mold! Deja vu from the first American Songbook. Many others have recorded these same songs over the years, and there are many others who do them justice...but Rod is not one of them. My advice is don't waste your money. If you want to hear these songs sung like they should be and deserve to be, buy recordings by Tony Bennett, Linda Ronstadt, Linda Eder, Rosemary Clooney, Michael Feinstein, Harry Connick, Jr. or "The Chairman of the Board" Frank Sinatra.
