Sublime folk-pop from the producers of Miss Mary's "Hey Blue!"
Good for a Gander, Mellin's follow-up to his "tour de force"* Jeff Mellin Saves the World, is a record you'll lose yourself in. Lush arrangements. California cum Liverpool harmonies. A record of sad songs that will make you happy. Not that it's morose by any means-it flows over with Mellin's melodicism, lyric wit, and pop sensibility. But throughout there's a comforting melancholy, like a blanket pricked with pinhole stars pulled up over an incandescent moon.
Musicians on Good for a Gander include the Midnight Cowboys, namely Dimitri Fane (Slide, Jess Klein) and Ken Schopf (Slide, Dennis Brennan), Joel Mellin (Oscillators), NY City folk-singer Kristin Mueller, and cult producer/musician Pete Weiss.
Produced by Joel Mellin (Miss Mary, Oscillators) with Jeff Mellin

"...of another era, a time when people weren't so worried, so consumed, so driven. It's just good listenin' music, the kind of thing you can put on while you feed the little animals or your soul, whichever comes first. I think maybe we need more of that along about now."
-Doug Treadway, Nightflying
