Tangerine
Tallulah!
A relatively unknown singer/songwriter/musician who’s been honing his craft for years, first in various bands and then as a solo artist, Mead has suffered through more than one label merger and even lost an entire album in the process. Now, forming his own label to prevent a second album from being sucked into the Music Industry Black Hole, he gives the world “Tangerine.”
Mead’s perseverance is pop connoisseurs’ gain: It’s the best album Paul McCartney never recorded, sung by Harry Nilsson and arranged by Brian Wilson. Tying most of the songs together is the lyrical theme of married life – a refreshing but also honestly surreal topic.
Mead and producer/engineer Brad Jones (Jill Sobule, Josh Rouse, Butterfly Boucher) play the guitars, keyboards and bass; friends and accomplices add strings, percussion and, occasionally, saxophone.
Making the album even more enjoyable is the fact that on any given song, Mead plays ukulele, vibraphone, glockenspiel, clavinet and/or mellotron. Plus there are cameo appearances by pennywhistle, flute, calliope, harmonium, Theremin and chromatic autoharp.
