The new CD "Songs from the Virgin Islands" is a true gem from the clear blue waters surrounding the Virgin Islands in the genre Kenny Chesney & Jimmy Buffett made so famous. This CD embarks on a musical journey that can only be told by Eric Stone who is a Virgin Island resident and troubadour. Stone has made a name for himself telling true stories of real life experiences in the islands. His CD, "Trinidad to Tortola" (a true musical journey) Boatsongs Music www.boatsongs.com began the mini-movie CD idea. Stone's new CD is an acoustic release that begins with "Dodging Hurricanes" and continues with anecdotal tales of what really happens in paradise. The Herman Wouk book, "Dont Stop the Carnival" portrayed similar experiences only in a much earlier setting. This CD is destined to become a collectors' item and will definitely be on-board many a sailing vessel in the Caribbean.
Stone's career has moved quickly and he has become one of America's premier storytellers and vocalists. He is working on becoming a legend in the music business by turning down every major record label offer sent his way so he could stay true to his genre. He writes what he wants, when he wants and has always refused to be intimidated or sell out. As an independent artist he has managed to sell well over 100,000 of his first release, "Songs For Sail", no easy feat for an indie act.
