New Release
“Road to the Sun”
No AI – REAL music, REAL musicians. Road to the Sun is another adventure in sonic and lyrical landscapes. All REAL music written by Stan Snow and recorded by REAL musicians. There are 12 songs on the album. Mostly Indie Rock and Americana, but with other styles brought in as needed. The musicianship includes Stan Snow, Abe Laboriel Jr. (Paul McCartney), Valerie Pinkston (Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston), Ben Smith (Heart), and the Budapest Scoring Orchestra among others.
Each song is different. All songs were written and recorded in the order they appear on the album. “I write to satisfy the music fan within.” Snow said. “Each album is like a symphony. Each song like a movement or section. It’s intended to be actively listened to in the order that the songs appear. That said, each song is intended to stand on its own, capturing the spirit of what the song is about. The lyrics are tailored to fit the music and vice versa.”
“The musicianship, for me, comes from 50 years of playing the guitar and other instruments. Every note, solo, lyric, groove, melody, voicing, chord progression, riff, arrangement, etc… has to hold my attention, …otherwise, I get bored. Each song and production has to stand up to repeated listenings, such that I want to hear these songs over and over again. It’s a craft, from beginning to end….like solving a puzzle…from the initial stages of song creation, throughout the recording and production process, and finally with the video creation and marketing. These days, most people are looking for authenticity. REAL music, written and played by REAL musicians. No one that I know likes to be fooled.”
There are songs about the great divide that exists in our country and in our world today (River of No Return), spin doctors (Prism), pyramid schemes and their victims (The Promised Land)….songs about reflecting on the years gone by (Time), criminals who steal from criminals (Stay In the Light), people who lost their lives in foreign wars (Holy Rollers), the adventure of chasing your dreams (Road to the Sun), new love (Higher Ground), lost souls (I of the Storm), aging (Something’s Gonna Take You Down), trying to win a woman’s heart (Dreams of Haunted Past), and tuning things out for survival (I Don’t Want to Know).
Snow said “this is my best work so far. I’ve had great fun creating, recording, producing, filming everything and working with world class musicians. Hopefully, that shows in the finished product”.
