In the Stone***+[4:48](M.White, D.Foster, A.Willis): Thunderous toms, pealing metallic cymbals intensified more by the enterprising
brass are the essence of this dynamic 45 second intro that leads into this most festive delegation of colorful grooves. Snappy
percussion, fluid rhythm guitars, augment this head-bouncin' salsa giving "In the Stone" a funky edge. Deliberate
crooning as opposed to hip funky vocals works better for this song, Breakdown after the second hook saves this gem from the
threat of redundancy. Things pick up again till the end.
In the Stone was the third single released from "I Am", and is one of the more identifiable EW&F songs (Every
summer across America and abroad, many high school and college marching bands blare out the distinctively brass sound of "In
the Stone)".
