Stewart's first two Grammy-nominated collections of standards -- 2002's It Had To Be You. . .The Great American Songbook and 2003's As Time Goes By. . .The Great American Songbook, Volume II -- have already sold over ten million copies and brought this veteran superstar to a new and even larger audience of all ages. The Songbook series has been a worldwide phenomenon since the first’s release in 2002.
The first two Songbooks have both enjoyed incredible success in the charts in Australia and having both achieved double platinum sales.
Performer Notes
Australian edition features one bonus track: "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square."
Neither Rod Stewart nor producer Clive Davis have ever been accused of letting any moss grow around them, so when Stewart's first collection of tunes from the Great American Songbook turned out to be a smash, they followed it up with a sequel, and, eventually, with a third volume. As with the preceding albums, STARDUST finds Stewart tackling the cream of the crop of classic pop standards, songs that will be instantly familiar to followers of Bennett, Sinatra, et al. but which may conceivably be new to some of Rod's more rock-oriented fans. In that sense, the record can be seen as a public service, introducing those woefully benighted souls to such masterworks as the Gershwins' lovelorn ballad "But Not for Me," and the transcendently stellar, Hoagy Carmichael-penned title tune. As if the material wasn't firepower enough, the album's profile is further raised by some heavyweight guest stars; Dolly Parton is Stewart's sassy foil on "Baby, It's Cold Outside," Stevie Wonder contributes his trademark chromatic harmonica magic to "What a Wonderful World," and Eric Clapton adds to the poignancy of "Blue Moon" with some lyrical guitar work.
