Time Stand Still is the sixth studio album by American rock band The Hooters, released in 2007.
Background
The Hooters gathered in October 2006 at keyboard player Rob Hyman's Elmstreet Studios, in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the recording of basic tracks, followed by additional recording at guitarist Eric Bazilian's Red Door Recording studio.
Several of the songs on the album had been previewed during The Hooters' live shows in 2005 and 2006, with one of the tracks, "Until You Dare," originally recorded on Eric Bazilian's 2000 solo album The Optimist.
There is a cover version of Don Henley's 1984 song "The Boys of Summer" that came about as a result of Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian being asked to participate in a show for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation in New York City, where bands from the 1980s were asked to play their own songs while also choosing a song that they wished that they had written from the 1980s. After performing the song as part of their live shows the previous two years, they decided to record a studio version for inclusion on the album.
The final mixes were completed in May 2007.
Release Schedule
The album was commercially released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on September 14, 2007, with pre-release copies available during the band's summer tour of Europe from June through August, featuring shows in Germany, Sweden, The Netherlands and Switzerland. The album was released in the United States on February 5, 2008 and was released in other countries in early 2008.
