Amazon.com: It's a little hard to take Rod Stewart seriously when, on the first track of this third installment in his Great American Songbook series, he sings ruefully about his love life being 'lean' ('Embraceable You'). But otherwise, Stardust...Volume III is as note-for-note solid as its predecessors--a cozy-up-to-the-fire treat that's also a pleasant reminder of these songs' staying power. 'S'Wonderful' settles on the ears winningly, and Stewart's scratchathon voice scalpels the cobwebs off of 'Isn't It Romantic' in a way that compels the average listener to reconsider thinking it dopey. In addition, the parade of high-wattage pals recruited to pitch in continues here, resulting in a couple of must-hear combinations. Eric Clapton delivers a rather un-Clapton-like guitar solo on 'Blue Moon' and Stevie Wonder blows harp like he means it on 'What a Wonderful World,' but it is the duets--'Baby It's Cold Outside' with the unsinkable Dolly Parton and 'Manhattan' with the indomitable Bette Midler--that the dazzle most. --Tammy La Gorce

The first time I saw this CD on the rack, I got the visual that Rod was wearing stockings, and now I can't see this cover in any other way. It
really cracks me up.

Unusaul venue for Rod Stewart, but he pulls it off very well. Good selection of old standards.
