Time Stand Still by The Hooters

Time Stand Still, the Hooters' sixth album and their first batch of new songs since 1993, came out in Europe on September 14, 2007, with the American release following in February 2008. The Philadelphia band cut the basic tracks in October 2006 at keyboard player Rob Hyman's Elmstreet Studios in the suburbs, then finished at guitarist Eric Bazilian's Red Door Recording, with Bazilian producing and David Uosikkinen, John Lilley and Fran Smith Jr. filling out the lineup.

Plenty of it had already been road-tested at shows in 2005 and 2006, and "Until You Dare" first surfaced on Bazilian's 2000 solo record The Optimist. The wild card is a cover of Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer", picked for a VH1 Save the Music show in New York where '80s acts played a song they wished they'd written. It's warm, melodic rock with folk and reggae threads, and "I'm Alive" is the track that reached the countdowns.
