Continuing his stroll through pop's backpages, Rod Stewart moves on from "The Great Rock Classics of Our Time" and dives into the SOULBOOK, shorthand for all the great Motown and soul songs that still are in heavy rotation on oldies radio well into the new millennium. Rod doesn't spend much time with the soul and blues singers so influential on him, choosing instead to run through a bunch of Motown hits - a full six of the 13 songs here are from the Motor City - adding a couple of smooth soul hits from the early '70s, plus Chuck Jackson & Maxine Brown's "Let It Be Me" which gives him an opportunity to duet with Jennifer Hudson. All this is firmly within Stewart's wheelhouse.

Rod Stewart is a true classic rock soulful ballad legend. His latest album Soulbook, as the name suggests is full of soul and soul inspired tracks. He has collaborated with modern artists in several tracks in this album and one of those Let it be me with Jennifer Hudson is just mind blowing and powerful true soul track. It still contains his classic hit what becomes of the broken hearted. It really takes you back to when music used to be soulful and real. Brilliant album
