Mitch Winehouse CD released

Mitch Winehouse, the father of British soul singer Amy Winehouse, has recorded his own debut album, "Rush of Love." Mitch Winehouse, 59, is a former cab driver. His CD, which is on sale now, is described in a press release as "his own collection of smooth jazz and swing crooning."

"We love singing in our family, " Mitch Winehouse said in a statement Tuesday. "I was always singing at home. But this is a dream come true and musically, it's a great album."

He admitted he is also realistic about the assumptions some might make about his new career.

"If Amy wasn't my daughter, I wouldn't be given this opportunity. I'm not stupid, I know that. But if I couldn't sing I wouldn't have been given the opportunity either, " he said.
