Melenhead - Melenhead
Little Silver Records
 Artist: Melenhead
Title: Self-Titled
Label: Little Silver Records
Oh did I ever love this CD! Surf-Rock-Instro with pumping and driving saxophone. Just like it
was meant to be. In the formative years of the genre the sax was a welcome addition to the
instrumental scene, adding an element that would change the way the music was played forever. I am
here to tell you that Melenhead is our savior. Lord have mercy!, can James Dziubia play that horn
(tenor & baritone saxophone). He gets plenty of help from his band mates Colin Kenny (lead
guitar), Doug Leibinger (bass, baritone saxophone) and Stewart Jean (drums). The group serves up a
well balanced attack of rock and instro. The poignancy of the sax is prevalent in each song and
it changes the feeling and atmosphere with a richness and flavor that I find beyond compare. R &
B and Soul come gushing and flowing like a river through the elemental foundations of surf and rock.
It's interesting when you listen to such simple and free music how it can become so ever changing
and complex with the addition of one instrument. When one looks at that one aspect it doesn't change
the fact that it remains, and is, kick ass rock n' roll music. Alas, there are many facets that are
found within the music if you are able to listen well enough. I could feel the warmth of the sun
and a cold glass of lemonade traveling down my throat. Oh the visionary power of music, isn't it
beautiful thing? This set my soul free. It may be temporary, but it felt real good while it lasted.
