Dion is following up his critically acclaimed and commercially successful 2020 album release Blues With Friends with Stomping Ground, a new album that finds him collaborating yet again with music greats with whom he shares mutual admiration. Stomping Ground was produced by Wayne Hood with Dion and released through Joe Bonamassa and Roy Weisman’s KTBA Records.
Most of the album’s songs were written by Dion and his songwriting partner Mike Aquilina. Guest artists appearing on tracks with Dion include Boz Scaggs, Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Patti Scialfa, Bruce Springsteen, Billy F Gibbons, Keb’ Mo’, Sonny Landreth, Joe Menza, Mike Menza, Marcia Ball, Jimmy Vivino, Rickie Lee Jones, Wayne Hood, Joe Bonamassa and G.E. Smith with Pete Townshend’s liner notes which Dion characterizes as “amazing.”
The album’s voluminous notes include an intro by Dion that succinctly summarizes the philosophy behind the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s latest recorded endeavor:
“When I was young, I was always striving for accolades and admiration. Those were my goals. But when I reached them, they didn’t satisfy. I discovered joy when I leaned to stop caring about all that - when I learned to relax and make music with friends… music that would make more friends for us through its joy. To make music with friends, and to make friends through music: I can’t imagine a better life than this. I am grateful to my friends who made Stomping Ground with me - and my new friends who are listening.”
The album’s notes include a foreword by Pete Townshend, which reads, in part:
“Dion, like a circling star that never fades, generates the energy and fire we need to pull ourselves up and start again. Dion is a star who knows well how to start again, how to keep shining. He looks at his watch every few years. Damn! Let’s make a record. Take care. This one will blow those little white things in our ears right into your brain.”
Beyond Townshend’s literary contribution, Dion provides a track-by-track description of all the album’s 14 selections, the sole non-original being “Red House,” the Jimi Hendrix song that has become a blues standard. On Stomping Ground, Dion is joined by Keb’ Mo’ on that song. Dion notes, “We had a blast grooving on ‘Red House.’ I’m honored to have him join me on this Jimi Hendrix cover/tribute. We did it as only we could. I think Jimi would approve!” It’s worth mentioning that the follow-up single release to Dion’s 1968 smash hit “Abraham, Martin and John” was “Purple Haze,” serving to underscore the connection that Dion has long had with the legacy of Jimi Hendrix.

He didn’t take that fateful flight in 1959 and is still producing GREAT music 63 years later 😮😮
❤
This sounds just like his song, "The truth will set you free" Dion, is the truth still setting you free? Your music meant so much to me and my wife in the 80s when we found the Lord.
I wonder if Dion's voice will ever grow old. I hope not. This song reminds me of his great song "Written on the Subway Wall". This is a wonderful production....I love it!!!
Well, Dion's voice is not same anymore, what it was at 60's, when he was adault, so age has done its job, and my bet is that, if Dion's voice will change, it won't change much, sense he is already over 80 years old.
Great song comparison
He has become
Better like Vintage Wine
Dion is the best, I've loved your music since I was a kid!
He and a few others like him live on to remind us what good music is.
One of my favourite rock voices of all time, Ruby Baby , a gem . This is really good , Dion , magnificent!
I don’t know if Dion will see this post, but I hope so.
Buddy, I always loved your music, but I never knew how good of a songwriter you were until the last week. I’ve had a 2 year slump and listening to your music, has broken me out of that. I have a new hero.
My favorite song from the last 10 years by anybody!!!!!
Love the ‘80s vibe of this tune.
One of your very best videos! Love seeing Dion along the subway walls, reminiscent of the '50s in the Bronx. Great song from the King of the New York Streets!

Seldom in one’s lifetimeGod Blesses very few to improve and master their gifts of talent as the years pass. Dion sounds as hip today as did decades ago. He needs to work at his pace to display his genius but be very well compensated. How does one have a pretty severe Drug Habit ,quit , heal, improve ,deal with internal issues then come Clean Screaming Back? He is in the league of ( Tony Bennet, Ella,Michael Franks,Steve Millers’s voice ,David Crosby, and few others I include but forget) when he did ‘King of the New York Streets “ I almost died cause it was who he was. He would be wonderful with Don Was-Todd Rundgren, Daryl Hall, Mr. Iovine, the late Bobby Womack and Emilio Castillo. The Boz cut completely blew me away. Boy are we lucky he’s still 36 after all these years.
Bless you Dion what a Bio Pic.
Peace.
