Blind Melon ~ "Walk"

The retro grunge/90's sound is coming back ... you can hear it in the indie rock playlists. Bands sounding like the Pixies and late Cure are abundant now, and next it will be Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Oasis sound-alikes.

One band, looking back, that never got the credit they deserved was Blind Melon. Their front man, Shannon Hoon, was a musical genius, could sing with the angels, and, unfortunately, was a guy who did everything to the umpteenth degree... including cocaine and heroin.

So, nostalgically inspired by the bands I'm hearing who are bringing the raw and real sound of the 90's back to the indie surface, here's a post hoping that the acoustic indie will come back with it.
