Bob Dylan is not a fan of Rod Stewart’s latest covers collection, American Songbook. Speaking to AARP magazine, Dylan said that Rod’s LP is a collection of wasted potential. “I was looking forward to hearing Rod’s records of standards. I thought if anybody could bring something different to these songs, Rod certainly could. But the records were disappointing,” he began. “Rod’s a great singer. He’s got a great voice, but there’s no point to put a 30-piece orchestra behind him.” “You can always tell if somebody’s heart and soul is into something, and I didn’t think Rod was into it in that way.” Dylan has his own Frank Sinatra covers record called Shadows in the Night out now.
