The Hooters' first album of new material since 1993, TIME STAND STILL sounds as if the intervening 14 years had never happened.

Break out the ouija board and extra-hold hair spray – because Stand Up and Shout puts you front row center to Ronnie James Dio's illustrious career. A mighty two-and-a-half-hour surge of molten metal, Stand Up and Shout begins with the classic rock/Stones-y blues-rock of Elf and makes a headlong voyage into his now infamous stints as lead vocalist of Black Sabbath and Rainbow before making a right-hand turn into one of metal's most successful solo careers…
