Michael Stone's debut album reveals a passion for songwriting and songcraft that only hints at his many influences.

Stone's solid guitar work filters through blues, progressive rock and jazz, with a hint of soul tossed about for good measure.

With a gritty edge, Stone's voice provides a powerful accompaniment to the playing, which includes nice rollicking piano moments, and rich harmonies.

It's a fine introduction to his work -- Glenn BurnSilver

Michael Stone has been writing and singing since he was a young boy. He majored in music in college as a voice major and has been on the air doing a morning show for the better part of 36 years all across the USA.

Michael grew up in a military family and as such had a rich childhood living in Germany and France and traveling Europe and all over the United States.

Emotive, thoughtful lyrics and a passionate voice to deliver them.

Enjoy ! This as Michael calls it his "1st studio release in 52 years". Let's hope it's not as long for the 2nd album.
