Title: Would rather hear the original artists on these songs
Review: Rod Stewart is by far one of the best rock male vocalists in my book. However, re-doing these "classics" just doesn't gel with me. For some reason, they all sound alike with hardly any variation. If I had to pick one good track, it would have to be "If Not For You", originally done by George Harrison (speaking of which, check out Olivia Newton John's remake of this song-much better than Rod's). Perhaps Rod should have tried some original rock tunes instead (but then they wouldn't be classics, now right?). I love all of these songs performed by the original artists. I think Rod could have done these songs justice...he has a great voice to pull it off, but the arrangements are stale in my opinion. I almost pre-purchased the CD, but glad I waited until after hearing the samples. I will not be buying this one...sorry!
