Free Music Review: Green Andy Reviews: Blind Melon - Blind Melon
Hit: 4 Stars
Blind Melon were one of the tougher bands to categorize during the Alternative Explosion of the early 1990's. Not because they work in an esoteric style; the band plays lightly psychedelic classic rock, and their music fits squarely into the jam band tradition. But if you wanted a new band to sell in those days, you had to market them as "alternative". So poor Blind Melon were forced to compete in the same field as L7 and Nirvana, and took a lot of criticism ("alternative to what?") for a description they had nothing to do with. Fortunately the band found their crowd organically, and mainstream rock fans who dug Led Zeppelin and the Black Crowes found their way over to Blind Melon eventually.
Listening to the album now, Blind Melon's self-titled debut is a remarkable straightforward heavy rock album, filled with inventive riffs and melodies, dusted with psychedelic leanings and occasional country sensibilities, and blessed with an expressive singer. Furthermore, it's almost completely free from 90's production techniques, so it's aged a lot better than other albums from the era (like Pearl Jam's debut TEN, which sounds rather slick in comparison). The album is loaded with ambitious yet low-key compositions, like the soaring opener "Soak the Sin" the very Led Zeppelin-esque "I Wonder", which swings from a delicately-picked intro to an uptempo solo-driven middle section and back, and of course the hippie-ish jam hit single "No Rain". Singer Shannon Hoon lacks the rampant ego that makes so many blue-eyed soul crooners so hard to stomach, and I've never understood why he takes as much criticism as he does. The band is equally unpretentious, and their hardest-rocking numbers here, like the slightly Jane's Addiction-leaning "Tones of Home" and the funky "Seed to a Tree", just sound like great ways to get a crowd going at their show.
As I said, Blind Melon were ultimately embraced by the classic rock-loving crowd, which meant that the jocks in high school totally dug them, and cranky elitist hipsters like me tended to fault the band for their fanbase. But listen to Blind Melon with an open mind, and the band's good nature shines through on every song, and makes it impossible to dislike them. The sound of this album has since been resurrected by an entire new generation of bands picking out the best bits of rhythm and blues and folk and reinventing them (As Tall As Lions, Mewithoutyou, The New Pornographers, etc.). So now more than ever, it's worth giving Blind Melon a listen. It doesn't have a great rep, and the album cover is ugly (sorry kid, I know everyone is pretty in their own way, but that's a damn unflattering shot of you), but the music contained in it is totally worthwhile.
