More Info:

Rod Stewart returns to his roots with the release of STILL THE SAME ... GREAT ROCK CLASSICS OF OUR TIME, a landmark recording of great rock songs and Stewart's first rock album in over 8 years. Stewart takes ownership of these thoughtfully selected tracks crafted by some of the best songwriters of our time, including Bob Dylan ("If Not For You"), Van Morrison ("Crazy Love"), Bob Seger ("Still the Same") and John Fogerty ("Have You Ever Seen the Rain" which will be the first radio single from the album). Several of Stewart's other selections sound like they were written for his signature, inimitable rasp in the first place, like Bonnie Tyler's "It's a Heartache" and "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," a 1976 hit for Elvin Bishop.

Reviews:

''Still the Same... Great Rock Classics of Our Time'' is an album by Rod Stewart, released on October 10, 2006. After four years singing pop standards from the Great American Songbook with great success, this album continues the notion of singing old material, but now in his classic musical genre - rock and roll.

The album is produced by Clive Davis and John Shanks (the former also produced the American Songbook albums) and includes rock milestones from the last four decades, including "It's a Heartache", "Day After Day" and the Creedence Clearwater Revival's classic "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", which was picked as the first single from the album.

The album debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 184,000 copies sold, making it his fifth Top 5 and second number one debut in three years. Stewart said he was "extremely happy" because of this event. The album also reached #1 on the New Zealand RIANZ Album Charts and was certified 2x Platinum for sales of 35,000 copies before falling off the chart. - Wikipedia
