Rod Stewart's mellowing years have neatly coincided with a commitment to smart ballad choices and a generally warmer musical persona. Rod the Mod liberated at last? Like many a pop singer, Stewart returns here to what's become generally known as the Great American Songbook, that evergreen body of mid-20th century songcraft that continues to inspire singers across oceans and generations. It's said that Stewart has been vocalizing many of these songs in private for years, and given the warm, human scale of most of the performances here, it's not hard to believe. Producer Phil Ramone's spare, unobtrusive arrangements inspire the singer to some of his most subtle and rewarding performances in years. Stewart's slightly weary vocal tack handsomely suggests the smoke, booze, and aching heart that lie at the best of these songs. Such back-to-the-future efforts can often sound like a last career gasp; here, they seem a refreshing breath of fresh air. --Jerry McCulley

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Not Sinatra or Bennett, but...he is Rod Stewart [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Gravelly voiced, intimate, and suggestive - that is what you get with Rod Stewart on this album of classics. He is good at what he does, unique in his own way. He sings to you and entices you. Great album as background for a quiet dinner for two in front of a fire, with a glass of red wine.2) Still Got It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 [Rating: 5 out of 5]

It Had to Be You... The Great American Songbook~ Rod StewartGiven as gift to my 73 yr old aunt.She requested it!4) Another Great CD [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Once again, Rod Stewart "Great American Song Book" Series is great. We now have all of them and enjoy them all. He has always been a talent and these series of CD's are just as wonderful as all of Stewart's music. Highly recommend.5) Save Your Money! [Rating: 1 out of 5]
I already had his "As Time Goes By" album and listen to it constantly so I figured it would be a natural to buy this one. Couldn't wait for it to be delivered. Played it once and it was Awful all the way around. His voice, the accompanyment, the sound! It's sitting in front of me as I type this and I have no desire to ever play it again, that's how bad it is. On the other hand, his "As Time Goes By" disk is fabulous! But if I had bought "It Had to Be You" first it would have ended there. Unfortutely, I can't get my money back. Don't make the same mistake unless you adore this guy and will put up with anything he recorded no matter how bad it is.
