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."

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 ...
