  Blind Melon - Tones of Home :: Biography
Listening back today, ‘Blind Melon’ is definitely one of the more ‘pure’ sounding rock records of the early ‘90s – modeled more after Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers, rather than the usual suspects that all the grunge and industrial bands were studying at the time.
The grind of the road (Blind Melon toured for nearly two years solid) merged with the group’s sudden success proved to be a dangerous cocktail, as Hoon indulged in his drug of choice, cocaine.
Blind Melon opens for the likes of Neil Young, Soundgarden, Ozzy Osbourne, Lenny Kravitz, and Guns N’ Roses, in addition to their own headlining tour of clubs, throughout late 1992 and early 1994.

 SECTION 3 - blind melon "nico"
The beauty of this album is the fact that it doesnÕt try to play up to the commercial recognition Blind Melon achieved with "No Rain." Rather, the album shows the true musicianship of Blind Melon, and recently-departed vocalist Shannon Hoon.
I think true Blind Melon fans can appreciate the fresh take on the songÕs arrangement, and pseudo-fans will probably pick up the album thinking itÕs a best-of and theyÕll have "No Rain." Personally think the version on this album blows away the original, though itÕs not as commercial.
Too bad one Melon was too blind to see what life had left to offer him.
