For those fans who await every Rod Stewart release with the same excitement as a child waiting for Christmas, this album will seem like having quite a few Christmasses rolled into one.

Not only does Rod choose his own favourites which influenced him growing up in London, but he manages to choose some timeless classics for everyone to enjoy and then deliver them in his unique style.

See the full review of Soulbook in the section 'Rod Stewart album reviews'.

4 CD BOX SET collection of unreleased tracks which Rod Stewart recorded over the years, but it has the added attraction of many outtakes and reworkings.  This will give a great look at how Rod puts his tracks together, and the processes and decision-making involved in choosing the final cuts.  It can be found on Amazon and all the usual retail sites, or direct with Rhino on http://www.rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=519758

ROD STEWART's only CONFIRMED UK date on his European/US Summer tour for 2009 was at Home Park in Plymouth.

The concert on Thursday 2nd July 2009 sold well and the bad weather of that morning turned out nice for the evening.

RSC/Smiler fan club stalwart Yve Paige took some great photos and reported that a good time was had by all.  Everyone seemed to enjoy hearing a couple of surprise tracks with Rod's renditions of 'Love Train' and 'Dirty Old Town' in amongst his selection of popular hits.

More of Yve's pics are in the PHOTOS page.   Thanks for sharing these with us, Yve.

PS..  LOVE TRAIN turned up on the new SOULBOOK album

Found on a railway station.... sung a couple of songs for Long John Baldry...  recorded a song but DJ played wrong side...  it was called Maggie May...   the rest is history, as they say.

To read what really happened, and fill in all the gaps, go to the official Rod website on http://www.rodstewart.com/bio.html 

.... but really, the words written about Rod Stewart mean nothing without appreciating the music he has brought to millions of fans worldwide...  a collection of different styles that means everyone should be able to find something they like...

If you can listen behind the gravel voice, you will hear a great singing voice... only the tone is affected by the rough edge, not the soul of it...  but some people don't listen properly so they will never know...  that's what makes Rod's fans different... they can hear it...
