"I suppose you could use the word 'addiction,'" says Rod Stewart, explaining his relationship to the classic pop standards of his "Great American Songbook" series. "I'm totally addicted to these songs. They're just so great to sing—if you fancy yourself even a bit of a singer, these songs are like chocolate."So once again, Stewart has returned to the territory that has defined the last decade of his remarkable career. With FLY ME TO THE MOON…THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK: VOLUME V, he adds a fifth chapter to the chart-topping, multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning series. On the new album—produced by Richard Perry and co-produced by Rod Stewart, Clive Davis and Lauren Wild - Rod Stewart infuses his incomparable vocal style into 12 iconic standards written by Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer, Henry Mancini, and many others.

"I was sad after we finished the fourth one, but then we went and did the rock album," he says. "As soon as that was done, Richard and I started meddling in, making lists of new songs, laying down some tracks. We were going to bring this one out instead of the Soulbook album, but Clive said, rightly, that we should wait, that the time wasn't quite right."For the fifth outing, though, Stewart opted for a slightly new direction and sound. "Richard and I decided that we wanted to go more up-tempo this time," he says. "Clive described the previous records as being kind of 'Fred and Ginger'—which was great, but I wanted to break the mold a bit. I was ge
