Peter Nero Accompanies Rod Stewart on His Latest Album
As Time Goes By�The Great American Songbook: Volume II

Two-time Grammy Award winner and Philadelphia music legend Peter Nero accompanies Rod Stewart on his latest CD, As Time Goes By�The Great American Songbook: Volume II. Mr. Nero�s piano virtuosity can be heard on the Duke Ellington standard �Don�t Get Around Much Anymore�.

Produced by rock music legends Clive Davis, Phil Ramone and Richard Perry for J Records, Volume II contains 14 songs that have earned the right to be called classics. �I�m in the Mood for Love�, �As Time Goes By� � a duet with Queen Latifah, �Til� There Was You�, and a sexy duet of �Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered� with Cher.

Last year, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Rod Stewart took a new path in his extraordinary career when he released It Had to be You�The Great American Songbook. The album, a collection of pop standard favorites, became one of the hottest albums of the year, selling nearly 4 million copies worldwide.

Arranged and recorded for a wide-ranging, multi-generational audience, Volume II is expected to be a �a huge worldwide musical event,� according to Clive Davis, Chairman and CEO of J Records.

�I�m delighted to be a part of it,� said Peter Nero. �I know that all my fans will adore this album, but it should have special appeal to the younger members of my audience, who most certainly are Rod Stewart fans, too.�
