Southern California`s Sam Mellon applies his training as a visual artist to paint pictures with words. The band`s sound integrates `60s pop, `70s So Cal country and `80s jangle-rock creating an auditory experience that is familiar yet unique. Mellon, who is joined on this release by his wife Julie Wolfe, Day Ray on drums, David Serby on bass, and, Carl Urbinati on guitars, had one critic describe the end-result as causing thinking of "blue skies, cumulus clouds, and vintage convertibles." Mellon is on to something. Figuring it out, though is like trying to grabbing cloud from the sky. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
