Cravin' Melon was founded in 1993 by Clemson University classmates and disbanded with a concert in May, 2001. The Southern roots-rock band released Red Clay Harvest in 1997 on Mercury Records. By that time, radio and the buying public had tired of their Hootie and the Blowfish-style pop music. (When Cravin' Melon lost their original drummer, Gary Greene of Hootie filled in for a tour.) The songs on Red Clay Harvest are all well written. Highlights include the upbeat rockers &Come Undone& and &Sweet Tea.& The album was produced by Don Smith (Cracker and John Hiatt). The ballad &Post Office& sounds like it could have been written for Darius Rucker and has many of the qualities that made Hootie a smash: soaring melodies, impassioned vocals, and a wistfull sensibility. Cravin' Melon is similar musically to the Pat McGee Band and Sister Hazel. Red Clay Harvest is perhaps the band's most polished and cohesive record. Consider this album a reminder of mid-late 1990s rock by 1998's &South Carolina Band of the Year.&
