Rod Stewart knew exactly what he didn’t want to do when he began penning songs for his new album Blood Red Roses, which landed in stores on September 28th. “I didn’t want to write songs like ‘Stay With Me,’ ‘Hot Legs,’ and ‘Tonight’s the Night,'” he says. “I wanted to attempt to do something a little bit more age-appropriate, and hopefully I’ve succeeded.”
The album is part of a creative renaissance for the 73-year-old that began with his 2013 LP Time and continued in 2015 with Another Country.

Rod Stewart shook, shimmied and wailed through a performance of his new song "Please" on the The Tonight Show Wednesday, with house band the Roots dutifully serving as his backing band.
"Please" appears on Stewart's new record, Another Country, and is one of several originals the rocker co-wrote with producer Kevin Savigar. It's a sultry, pleading blues burner, criss-crossed with conversing guitars and, on Tonight, driven by Roots drummer Questlove's splashy, steady beat.
Stewart, however, showed he's still in complete control, busting out slick footwork and belting the track in his eternally raspy,...
