Info for Little Dreams

Little Dreams is the first solo album from Ian Thomas in twenty four years. It can’t be called a comeback recording, simply a new solo recording as he has been busy writing and recording in many other configurations the whole time.

Since his last of twelve solo recordings, Ian has done four Boomers albums with international success and subsequent concert tours of Germany, Canada and the USA. There have been four Lunch at Allens albums with cross Canada tours every year for the last ten years, twenty five movie scores that have had Ian working in studios from Prague to Hollywood, and two successful novels BEQUEST and The LOST CHORD, and a comedy record called Air Pirates. “Songs are still front and foremost my passion. They seem to naturally accumulate in my life like trail markers.”

"Given his popularity in his native Canada and his success as a songwriter for others (Santana, Bette Midler, America and Manfred Mann), it’s somewhat surprising that Ian Thomas isn’t better known in the U.S. His sole domestic chart entry, “Painted Ladies,” dates back some 40 years, making Little Dreams seem more like a new introduction rather than a belated return. In that case, Thomas creates a sterling first impression.

Touched with his usual optimism, Little Dreams features bubbly love songs like “Waiting for the Sunrise” and “After All These Years,” each flush with rich, radio-ready arrangements that achieve pure pop perfection.

Thomas and co-producer Peter Cardinali also take pains to vary the template. The low-lit euphoria of “Fear of Falling”—a spin-off of sorts on John Lennon’s “Imagine” (“If there was no heaven/No one would get burned”), the Sting-esque “What a Day to Fall in Love” and the stirring “Waiting for the Sunrise” exude heartfelt sentiment that elevates the album to a loftier plain.

After all these years, Thomas’ music remains effortlessly alluring. Hopefully, Little Dreams will be a wake-up call to the uninitiated." (Lee Zimmerman, ElmoreMagazine.com)
