Rod gets more and more comfortable in the genre with each album, and that's why he won his Grammy for the third 'Songbook.' On Volume IV, Rod inimitably captures wonderful classic standards, breathes new life into them and makes them his own.

It's not only a genuine thrill to see the album enter the charts at number one, but it's truly an historic occasion for both of us.

The story of Rod Stewart, the story of Carlos Santana is so inspiring to young musicians because it shows in this trendy business how long a career can last. It shows how you can soar back, regardless of age.

I feel blessed that I found not just a profession, but a 24/7 way of life that I purely love. That curiosity to be current, to listen to the Hozier album, to be early in recognition of a Lorde and spending time with her and Miguel, the pleasure of seeing new talent erupt... I love it.

I'm definitely not comfortable in a Speedo! That's as uncomfortable as it gets!

It's a new chapter. It's like a photo album. In the GMC, we took all our pictures, but that's won, done and over. Now, we have a new page to create.
