ROD STEWART "the tears of hercules" cd, 2021
his thirty-first and most recent offering....
ten of the twelve were co-written by Stewart with two covers...
starts off pretty poor with two disco 'doof-doof' songs,
these are then followed by a bosa-nova/rhumba which is cringeworthy par to the Presley tracks in the "fun in acapulco" movie...
thankfully, it does get better from there though with likable tracks for the most part....
theres songs about love, sex and relationships plus one social commentary song and a tribute to Marc Bolan (allbeit with corny lyrics, but the sentiment is there)....
overall, i cant really knock a guy who has been around the best part of sixty years.

Born To Boogie (a tribute to Marc Bolan): Born To Boogie (A Tribute To Marc Bolan) - YouTube has some cool 'glam rock' sounds
