Swing Fever by Rod Stewart and Jools Holland

This is the new album by legendary British singer Rod Stewart with British musician Jools Holland and this was recorded at Helicon Mountain, Durrington House and Red Cottage Studios. It has covers of classic swing songs from the big band era which it includes Frankie and Johnny, Them There Eyes, Oh Marie, Pennies From Heaven and many others. It is FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT with FANTASTIC songs with great singing by Rod Stewart who is still sounding great and does these songs very well when you think 20 years ago when he did the Great American Songbook albums and it was produced by Nitin Sawhney and Phil Manzanera.
