Amy Winehouse’s Dad to Record Album

Posted by Adam

Amy & Mitch WinehouseAMY Winehouse‘s dad is set to follow in his famous daughter’s footsteps — he’s set to record an album!

Taxi driver Mitch Winehouse says the retro swing record will include covers of Rat Pack legend Frank Sinatra and new material.

“It’s a Sinatra-ish album. There will be six covers of Sinatra,” Mitch said, adding that Amy, 26, inherited her talents from his family. “We were always singing in the house.”

Mitch has also launched his own series, Showbiz Rant, in which he chats to celebs in his taxi for online TV channel Liv.

Mitch, 58, recently revealed how Amy has become obsessed with exercise.

“Everything at the moment is under control,” he said. “Sometimes — and I’m not talking about Amy — but sometimes other addictions come after another addiction.

“One of Amy’s positive addictions is she’s got her own gym. She’s in the gym three or four hours a day. I mean boy is she fit – really, really fit. So that’s a really positive addiction.

“But addictions can come in groups. It can be buying stuff, buying stuff that’s not necessary. She’s been through that as well. The whole process is one of recovery.”
