It Had to Be You: The Great American Songbook

more music like this
by
Rod Stewart
It's the kind of concept that seems brilliant on paper: revive the career of one of the great vocalists of the rock era by having him sing the great American pop songs of the pre-rock era. It was done before with Linda Ronstadt, and it worked well, so why not Rod Stewart, whose career was in shambles in 2002 following the disastrous modern R&B ...

more music like this
by
Various Artists
World War II and big-band pop-era compilations are released almost as regularly as Christmas albums, and the glut has caused more harm than good; it seems any good ones are quickly swallowed up by the racks full of short, ill-advised, uninformative collections. Though any single label could never do justice to the war years, with a little clever ...

Very simple and blatant repackage of all three of Rod Stewart's three standards recordings in a box. Nothing more, nothing less, though some would argue this is way too much of a "good" thing. Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
