Produced by Michael Stanley and mixed by legendary producer\/engineer Bill Szymczyk (Eagles, B.B.King, Joe Walsh, The James Gang, The Who and Santana), \u201cAnd Then\u2026\u201d contains twelve new Stanley compositions and a cover of Storyville\u201ds  \u201cGood day For The Blues\u201d.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">  <!--more-->  <\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4252\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Backed by members of his road band The Resonators, \u201cAnd Then\u2026\u201d is another outstanding example of Stanley&#8217;s eclectic musical leanings. \u201cI guess it springs from growing up in the same time frame as rock n&#8217; roll and being knocked out by all the different styles that led to that musical melting pot,\u201d said Stanley. \u201cBecause of that I rarely sit down to write a certain &#8216;type&#8217; of song\u2026whatever happens happens\u2026and although that can be a marketing man&#8217;s nightmare, it keeps me interested and, hopefully, growing as a writer.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4254\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">From the mid-70&#8217;s to the mid-80&#8217;s, The Michael Stanley Band rocked arenas all over the midwest, setting still-unmatched concert attendance records at northeastern Ohio&#8217;s Blossom Music Center and The Coliseum in Cleveland.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">With album sales reaching the hundreds of thousands, the band enjoyed a strong and undeniably loyal following in other areas of the country as well, and toured with some greats, including Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles, Foreigner and The Doobie Brothers&#8230;<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4256\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">In his early days of recording his talent attracted the likes of producer Bill Szymczyk and guest musicians Joe Walsh, Todd Rundgren, and David Sanborn from the beginning. He formed the Michael Stanley Band (aka MSB) in 1975 and pursued a more straightforward rock direction.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4258\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">To this day, Michael&#8217;s first two albums are mainstays of any fan of 70&#8217;s country rock. Songs like &#8220;Rosewood Bitters,&#8221; &#8220;Moving Right Along,&#8221; &#8220;Yours for a Song&#8221; and the ultimate Michael Stanley tune, &#8220;Let&#8217;s Get The Show on The Road&#8221; have survived well. Most favorably compared to Dan Fogelberg&#8217;s early albums, Michael was and still is extremely capable of writing songs that raise the little hairs on the back of your neck. Just from his uncanny ability to write perfect songs ever since he began would be enough reason to listen to his music but Michael has been able to do what few other artists have in that he hasn&#8217;t changed his magic method. His new songs are just as vibrant as his classics. The sign of a true artist.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4259\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4260\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">So welcome to Michael Stanley&#8217;s new album \u201cAnd Then\u2026\u201d, the next step on a musical journey that has spanned over four decades and shows no sign of slowing down!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelstanley.com\/images\/750e3b3df8b7fa9c89328a962c7cf3a4_ffzh.png\" border=\"0\" width=\"204\" height=\"183\" \/><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4262\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4263\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">To purchase Michael Stanley&#8217;s \u201cAnd Then&#8230;\u201d CD: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsaboutmusic.com\/michaelstanley.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.itsaboutmusic.com\/michaelstanley.html<\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4266\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1441860856837_4267\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelstanley.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.michaelstanley.com\/<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Line Level Music is proud to announce the release of \u201cAnd Then\u2026\u201d, the new album&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5549\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
