In 2010 Dwight Twilley released his thirteenth (or possibly fourteenth) studio album, not counting a bunch of releases of lost recordings from throughout his career. Green Blimp found him ratcheting up the Beatles vibe, and nowhere was that more apparent than on Me And Melanie. The driving piano riff is punctuated by Revolver-era guitar interjections. "We changed our style. We've been changing for a long long while." The chorus is infectious - "Me and Melanie, Oh the memories" - and is underpinned by some stellar production work with guitar and bass counterpoint. Give a listen at 1:47 to the bending notes in the guitar solo - just amazing and beautiful. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what power pop is all about!

I enjoyed this album when it came out, too. Here were my thoughts on it then.

Hey Tim, just read your review. Spot on about the guitar sound on that album. Bill Pitcock IV - RIP. He was one of a kind.
