If ONCE IN A BLUE MOON hasn’t exactly been the Holy Grail for the Rod Stewart faithful, it’s only because we didn’t know what we were missing – until now.
This unqiue collection of covers recorded in the summer 1992 is Maestro Stewart at his interpretive best – that magnificent voice yearning, pleading, and shouting in all its gravelly glory while serving as a lethal instrument for the legendary producer Trevor Horn. And though each of these ten tracks has been previously released in various forms in different mixes, together they form an exciting whole that places BLUE MOON squarely in the upper reaches of Rod’s classic catalog.
