With the release of Still The Same... Great Rock Classics Of Our Time in 2006, Rod Stewart returned to his roots. A landmark recording of great songs by his contemporaries, and Stewart's first rock album in over eight years, as Still The Same... follows the unprecedented success of his Grammy-award winning Great American Songbook series. The four volumes of The Great American Songbook released between 2002 and 2005, comprise the biggest selling ongoing series of new music recordings in history, with a total of fifteen million copies worldwide.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Rod Stewart has one of the greatest and most distinctive voices in rock history. Throughout his almost forty-year career, he has applied that unmistakable tone to material by everyone from the Rolling Stones to Tom Waits. Just as the often-imitated Songbook albums focused on unforgettable compositions from the �30s and �40s, Still the Same� concentrates on music from an unprecedented era � the late �60s and early �70s, when rock songwriting was truly breaking through to new heights.
On Still The Same..., Stewart takes ownership of a thoughtfully chosen set of songs crafted by such masters as Bob Dylan (If Not For You), Van Morrison (Crazy Love), Bob Seger (Still the Same), and John Fogerty (Have You Ever Seen the Rain, 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 andFooled Around and Fell in Love, a 1976 hit for Elvin Bishop.
�We�ve chosen tracks very carefully to go with my voice,� says Stewart. �We felt that these were songs that were due for a revisit, and made sure that they blend together as a single piece of work.�
