VINYL FORMAT. Dan Melchior seems to relish the job of bard. His style is simplistic but powerful, and his music lacks pretense and would not stand out too much on a honky-tonk juke box. On his latest LP, This is Not the Medway Sound, the Englishman Melchior attempts to document the cathartic aspects of his move to New York City. Joined by Bruno Meyrick-Jones but absent the Broke Revue with which he usually tours, Melchior plunges head on into what it means to be a stranger abroad.
