Blind Melon Vinyl LP repressing. BLIND MELON was the eponymous debut album by acclaimed rock band Blind Melon, released in 1992, featuring breakthrough single ‘No Rain’. Fronted by singer Shannon Hoon, Blind Melon had a distinctive sound influenced by Southern Rock and Psychedelic Rock. Songs like ‘Soak the Sin’ and ‘Tones of Home’ evoke Hard Rock with a funky sound; ‘Time’ resembles Grateful Dead-style improvisational music, while acoustic songs like ‘Change’ and ‘No Rain’ hint at Pop and Folk influences. The band recorded the bulk of the album with producer Rick Parashar at London Bridge Studio in Seattle, Washington. Blind Melon’s production is marked by the use of outdated amplifiers and other antiquated studio technology. Modern studio effects were not used in its production as the band aimed to create a pure and intimate sounding record.
