Coffee Shop Country Digital Album Now Available!




Working and revamping, I finally kind of got it all together, and it sounds okay, if I do say so myself! Coffee Shop Country is now available as a full length 10 song digital album. I later plan to release it on a physical format such as vinyl and/or cassette tape. But I wanted to slowly let the public digest and savor some of these new tunes and get to know more about it.

The title track was inspired by music critic Ned Hepburn- whom a few years ago- deemed my style "Coffee Shop Country" music. And it kinda stuck. And it fits so well. Knowing that ideally, I can merge from Countrypolitan flair to church music and then go lounge, it seems the coffee shop venues I fit in with the most. Its that ambiance of nobody is listening, yet everyone in the world listening at the same time. This creates an inner peace as I say in my song "I drift off to dream whenever I play in a shopping mall or the corner cafe". Its true. Because I feel at peace and inspired by singing at the coffee shops and when folks are on their lap tops maybe even with ear phones plugged in, it feels my heart to over flowing.  Its a nice way to spend a relaxing evening. Softer music doesn't have to be "boring".

So, yeah, that's Coffee Shop Country in nut shell. I'm selling it primarily through CD Baby Here:
But you can also get it through  BANDCAMP, and  Amazon. Please spread the word, Y'all.

Ned Hepburn: Meade Skelton’s ‘Hipsters Ruin Everything’ may be hipster anthem we’ve all been waiting for

 This is a reprint of a now deceased article from Death and Taxes Blog printed June 20th, 2012 Meade Skelton’s ‘Hipsters Ruin Everything’ may be hipster anthem we’ve all been waiting for Meade Skelton is a guy from Virginia who hates Obama, hipsters, and untucking his shirt. He has a blog, and spends most of the day blogging about how much he wants to sing, how much he hates Obama, how much he dislikes drums, and detailing his weight loss. He also uploads a lot of his songs to YouTube. Now, the cynic in me wants to simply write him off as a guy in a small town with a keyboard (which he names “Bessie,” by the way) – but to be honest, there’s something about him that screams “outsider art” moreso than most any other random YouTube / blog find. He comes across like the Daniel Johnston of keyboard-based coffee shop country – a description that no doubt will set his rivaled hipsters ears on fire. For all the vast amount of information that the internet has to offer, its rare to ...

Coffee Shop Country: EP

Coffee Shop Country EP by Meade Skelton Inspired by Ned Hepburn's "Death and Taxes" blog, where he described my music as "Coffee Shop Country", I came out with this digital EP. The work is in progress, as it will come to full fruition as an album later (possibly cassette tape). For now this is "Coffee Shop Country" - sort of a paint brush of strokes of what come forth from my performances at the many coffee shops I have played over the years. Its Country and its Coffee Shop style. And that's about all I know. But its fun to create it. Its available now at Bandcamp and I have it going for 5$ , or simply 1$ a song. Whichever the general public prefers is fine by me. Last year I had fun doing "Christmas Joy". I also need to find out when that will be coming out on cassette tape, CD, or Vinyl for folks to Enjoy. It probably needs to happen soon. But this is definitely a fun project.
