Always, always a great song!
author: Jennifer Mottram
Melvern Taylor has great talent and an easy friendly kind of voice that makes you relaxed and happy. The tongue in cheek humor and the spot-on realism of the situations of the song hit home. Sometimes literally, since I lived on Salisbury Beach. :) Great album - pick up the rest while you\'re at it!

Cheerfully Seedy!

Great music, wonderful lyrics! Who knew the uke could be so cool? This is my second album from these guys, and I hope to see more of them. Not a \"skip over\" song in the bunch. Nice job, fellas!

Not a Loser Among Them
author: Robert
Every song on this album is fabulous. Melvern is a terrific songwriter, uke player and singer. And the Meltones are spot-on, especially Dave Livingston's complementary guitar. This is great stuff.

Call me a loser, then!

Melvern is Ray Davies with an uke. Think mid-sixties Kinks, the humor of "Sunny Afternoon" or even latter songs like "Holiday" along side the honest sadness of "Waterloo Sunset" and you're not far off from Melvern Taylor's music.
It is refreshing to hear someone who can make you laugh and make you blue, given that so many today are one-dimensional in sound and lyrical content.
Listen to this a few times, you'll be singing the songs all day. Oh, and while you're at it, get Melvern's excellent "Fabuloso".
