With a more lush production than Indiana, this CD recalls the feel of the "Mine and Yours" album and to my ears benefits from it. Although short at six tracks, quality is never an issue and after a couple of spins you'll find yourself waking with the melody line from "only a dream" or the title track running through your brain. This is pop music in a classic sense, for people who have given up on chart music and as with all of Mr Meads' albums makes you wonder how mainstream acceptance can be far away.....

Stylistically, this is somewhere between "Mine and Yours" and "Indiana", with typically crafted songs, sensitive arrangements and superb singing. Singer/songwriters don't come any better thasn David Mead and he's long overdue a lot more success. This CD is especially worth having since it's so cheap! There's lot's more info about him including guitar tabs etc at www.dreamawaythemiles.com and www.mineandyours.com, as well as his official site www.davidmead.com.

Disappointed, that's my first reaction. As an avid David Mead fan.. and owner of his entire canon of works... as I marched around one of my usual music/retail stores desperately trying to find something worthy the other night... I saw the new Mead album and without even thinking, looking or sampling ran to the register, then to my car to load the CD. I kept listening, waiting for the sounds that would seem as good or better than his last CD, Indiana. And then the music stopped after 6 songs... and I was like, "WHAT!?" Sorry. Disappointment was all I mostly felt... and kinda pissed. I had no idea it was a "mini album." Guess I have to give it a thorough listen again. I'm sure it has some redeeming value. But Indiana-or-better it ain't, and on top of it, it's short too! Feh!! Come on David, let's go forward and stop staring at the rear-view mirror. Your music is way too vibrant to even consider retrospectives yet!!!
