Rod Stewart Completes Recording Of New Rock Album

"It's all done mate," revealed Stewart, who also has a Christmas album, Merry Christmas, Baby, coming out Oct. 30. "I produced it myself. It's all finished, mixed, everything.... Just a good, old-fashioned Rod Stewart album [with] a lot of mandolin and acoustic [guitar] and fiddles and good storytelling, I believe, too." Stewart said he was surprised at how easily songs have been coming to him. "It's been just flowing like a river," he said.
