Dreams Die Hard - New CD by Larry Stone
The new CD "Dreams Die Hard" on Cool Groove records marks a return to recording after a 20 year layoff for Wilmington, New York based singer songwriter, Larry Stone. It also marks a reunion with Fort Worth based band leader,producer, guitarist Jim Colegrove who produced Stone's earlier collection, Rockin Bones, recorded in Dallas in the mid 80's. The new album contains all original material written by Stone with the exception of one tune by Joe Hutchinson, a musician who wrote and played with Colegrove in the Woodstock, New York band Jook and one tune that Hutchinson collaborated on with Stone, Down on the Borderline, the title track on a CD released by Colegrove's Fort Worth band, Lost Country, in 2005.
After over twenty years as a ski jumping coach, Stone has retired from that world and has returned to the music world with new enthusiasm. This album was started during the winter of 2008 with a number of cuts in Stone's Wilmington, New York, studio with his New York band, The Stoneman Blues Band, and finished in August 2008 in Fort Worth with Jim and his band, Lost Country. Many of the songs were inspired by life on the farm that Larry and his wife, Meg, run in the beautiful Adirondack mountains. The rolling "Padjolie Blues", as well as the rollicking Ballad of Shorty about a bull that escaped into the nearby wilderness for a four day vacation, give an insight into life on the Little Black Brook farm and further described by the haunting "Here today, Gone Tomorrow' which combines the facts of life on the farm with the loss of a dear friend over the past summer.
Special mention to the musicians includes the great steel playing of Fort Worth's David McMillan, the sweet harmony singing of Susan Colegrove, and the touch of producer Jim Colegrove.
Stone says he really was trying to make a CD of material that he would like to listen to instead of trying to hit any particular market niche. "It's been a long time coming but making this album was enormously satisfying, especially interacting with these talented musicians to flesh out my songs."
