Rod told the Vegas Player Magazine that in between his dates at Caesar’s Palace, he is hard at work on a spring 2015 follow-up to his most recent album, 2013′s ‘Time‘ — and like that effort, this one will feature largely self-penned or co-written material, another deviation from a long stretch in which he relied heavily on outside writers. “Believe it or not, I’ve got 10 tracks ready for the new album. I’ve got songs coming out of my bum at the moment,” he laughed. “I just wish I could have had this 25 or 30 years ago. I was enjoying myself too much then.”
And once the next record is out of the way, Rod doesn’t see himself slowing down anytime soon. “As long as the voice is there, I’ll keep going,” he insisted. “I’ve been really lucky with my voice. It’s stayed in pretty good shape. It gets a bit of a battering now and then — four shows in six days — but I look after it as if it were the crown jewels.”
