The formerly brilliant Rod Stewart (see Faces) ends his 20-album mangling of The Great American Songbook and has instead returned to stale, turgid cover songs by other artists who haven't squandered all of their talent: namely Bob Dylan ("If Not For You"), Van Morrison ("Crazy Love"), John Fogerty ("Have You Ever Seen The Rain?") and Bob Seger. Well, okay, Bob kinda squandered most of his talent. Have you listened to "Breakdown" lately? Yeesh!
The album "Still the Same," named after the Seger song, will be released October 10, but you know what? Save your money and just buy the Faces boxed set, Five Guys Walk Into a Bar. You'll be glad you did.
And, no, I haven't heard the new album. I'm just psychic, that's all. Trust me.
