I was so wowed by this collection. Each song is individually great, but together represent a greater whole. Great talent!

In their spare time, people do lots of things.  In his spare time, guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Gary Melvin--between studio session work and playing sell-out dates augmenting the band of pop icon Frankie Valli--wrote, recorded and produced SPARE TIME, a dynamic melange of rock, pop and folk  influences that he fuses ambitiously and seamlessly.  

	As a songwriter, Melvin manages, on one hand, to create expansive, melodic songs such as the relentless, "Always,"   a bohemian  "Out of Excuses" and the soaring "Make Me Whole," while on the other hand craft the bluesy "Line It Up," an infectious "Waiting" and the gentle, folky "I Need You," and make it all fit.  

	As a  lyricist, Melvin is  smart and sensitive; as a vocalist, he is clear and expressive, and as a guitarist  he simply blazes, driving  these memorable melodies with great, electric and acoustic work, even some bottleneck.  

	Melvin, who also plays organ on tracks, is supported by Robin Everhart on bass and Michael Miley on drums--powerful, enterprising players who, with Melvin, create a power unit that steamrolls the uptempo stuff and artfully finesses the tender moments.  SPARE TIME is every note the auspicious debut.  It only gets better from here.

Beautiful, clear, clean with a fresh tone. I could listen to Gary all day long.
