Stone is the second album by the Canadian band Crash Vegas, released on March 9, 1993.[1][2] They supported it with a Canadian tour that was followed by a tour of the United States, opening for the Tragically Hip.[3][4] The first single was "You and Me".[5] The album peaked at No. 50 on the RPM 100.[6]
Recorded in Los Angeles, the album was produced by John Porter.[7] The band wanted a heavier sound, as they felt that their skills had improved while touring in support of their debut, and were also interested in not repeating themselves.[8][9] The songs were written primarily by Michelle McAdorey, Greg Keelor, and Colin Cripps; McAdorey was chiefly influenced by Gram Parsons and the freedom found in punk music.[10] "September Morning" is about Parsons.[11] Darren Watson joined the band on bass, replacing Jocelyne Lanois.[12] Cripps played a mando-guitar on some of the tracks.[13] Ian McLagan contributed on electric organ.[14] "One Way Conversation" was written by Dave Pirner; the band discovered it on a demo and decided to record it with Pirner while he was in Toronto.[8] "Nothing Ever Happened" was mixed by Butch Vig.[15]
