I've raved about David Mead before, but his new album, Indiana, has been spinning all this week, and I'm still liking it.

Mead is a pop-oriented song-writer with uptempo catchy pop songs. I've compared him at times to Paul McCartney, David Gates, Jeff Lynne. This is actually his fourth album, with the third not yet released due to record label wrangling.

There's not a bad song on this set, even though I thought it was rather weak on the first listen compared to his previous two albums. If you don't know Mead and you like uptempo, bitter-sweet folk/pop with hooks galore, then you should check Mead out.
