Mel Washington is an eclectic man. He’s shown that he can rock out on stage swinging his dreads back and forth. He’s shown he can drop the bass as DJ Meliphant. He’s shown that he can silence and capture a room with the smooth deep tone of his voice at acoustic songwriters night. And On “Come Back”,the first single off his new album Houses set to hit the streets in January, Washington pulls out the banjos and strings for the laid back folky tune. “Come Back” sounds like it was pulled straight from a front porch jam session, even more tying it to the theme of the album.
Washington recorded the new album over the last year with Matt Goldman in his Glow In The Dark Studios in Atlanta. The new album is set for release in January, 2013 through Regenerate Music Company.
