Song is about the phenom Baseball player Shohei Ohtani.

ANGEL ON THE MOUND Master 1

Track comes from the idea of walking uncomfortably through life with a stone in your shoe.

THE EVERLASTING STONE IN MY SHOE (parts 1 & 2)

Anastasia is step daughter to my young daughter. I would call her Applestation and the song Applestation appears on the previous TOMS album with the same title. For Life Raft, we changed the basic song around and called it Anastasia. It's confusing I know! But if you like this track you can research the song on the Applestation album by The Toms as well.

ANASTASIA (Bonus Applestation Remix)

Feeling you've been buried alive when love runs out the door and gone forever more!

BURIED ALIVE

Track is about putting your best profile forward on dating sites and hoping for the best!

PROFILE

The Toms performed this track live at Tommy Maroldas' Thousand Oaks home studio with Petey Maloney from the band Dishwalla on drums, Richie Sambora from the band Bon Jovi on guitar and Ernie White on guitar and BVs while Marolda played the bass and sung. Somewhere around summer 1991. A little bit too much hair!

FLASHLIGHT

Track has been used in many TV shows and released on The Toms album called SUN, but was originally recorded under the band name HORIZONTAL LADIES CLUB with Petey Maloney (Dishwalla) Ernie White (Aviator) and Tommy Marolda (The Toms)

MISTER SKEPTICAL

Before Tommy Marolda became The Toms and his Grammy songwriter-producer partner Bruce Foster did STAYING ALIVE, they recorded 100s of songs for TV and movie soundtracks. This is their blue-eyed-soul effort at giving homage to their R&B heroes, Sam&Dave, The Five Du-Tones (Shake Your Tail Feather).
