The Luxury Of Time
''The Luxury of Time'' is the debut album by singer-songwriter David Mead, released by RCA Records in 1999. "Mead writes slick, sophisticated, and at its best, timeless sounding pop songs that seem to be rooted as much in the tradition of Gershwin and Porter as they are in the music of Lennon and McCartney or Elvis Costello," wrote Brett Hartenbach for AllMusic. "Though sporting a somewhat glossier sound, ''The Luxury of Time'' fits nicely alongside the works of such artists as Freedy Johnston and Ron Sexsmith as the touchstone for the '90s new crop of young writers." Track listing All tracks written by David Mead. # "Robert Bradley's Postcard" – 4:23 # "Sweet Sunshine" – 4:20 # "Touch of Mascara" – 3:37 # "Apart From You" – 3:13 # "Breathe You In" – 4:20 # "World of a King" – 3:48 # "Landlocked" – 4:47 # "Telephone" – 3:56 # "Everyone Knows It But You" – 4:00 # "She, Luisa" – 3:34 # "Make the Most Of" – 4:16 # "While the World Is Sleeping" – 4:06 # "P ...

Indiana (David Mead Album)
''Indiana'' is the third album by singer-songwriter David Mead, released in 2004 on Nettwerk America. "While the material here can have the feel of adult contemporary singer/songwriter fare, the depth of Mead's writing, both lyrically and melodically, steers it clear of any of the banalities that can creep into the genre," wrote Brett Hartenbach in a review for AllMusic. "''Indiana'' may lack the immediate hookiness that made ''The Luxury of Time'' and ''Mine and Yours'' so irresistible, but it's every bit as strong and should prove to be just as enduring." PopMatters's review of the album declared, "David Mead proves he’s only getting better — and while those looking to be rocked might be put off by this relatively mid-tempo collection, there’s no denying the quality of each of these special songs. His voice covers a wide range to falsetto and back again; his songs exude emotion, honesty and wit." Track listing All tracks written by David Mead except where noted. # "Nashv ...

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
