Vagabond Heart is the 16th studio album by the singer-songwriter Rod Stewart, released in 1991. The album reached #10 in the US, and reached #2 in the UK. The album featured five singles, among them a cover for Robbie Robertson’s song “Broken Arrow” (#20 in the U.S.) and Van Morrison’s song “Have I Told You Lately”, which would become a hit two years later (in a live version) and is Rod Stewart’s most recent top five solo hit in the US and the UK.
