Stones is the debut solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Dan Seals. It was released by Atlantic Records in June 1980. The album was Seals' first solo album after he parted ways from the duo England Dan & John Ford Coley to pursue a career in country music, but unlike his later recordings, this is a pop rock and soft rock album which focuses mainly on the artist's instrumental talents. It is his only album using the 'England Dan' moniker.
