“Change” by Blind Melon

"Change" comes from Blind Melon's self-titled debut, released by Capitol in September 1992, and all five members share the writing credit: singer Shannon Hoon, guitarists Rogers Stevens and Christopher Thorn, bassist Brad Smith and drummer Glen Graham. The band produced and mixed it with Rick Parashar, who also engineered, with Jon Plum assisting.

The five had come together in Los Angeles. Hoon arrived from Indiana in 1990 and fell in with Stevens and Smith, two Mississippi transplants, then Thorn joined on second guitar, and after months of hunting for a local drummer, Stevens and Smith talked Graham into moving out to join them. Capitol signed them in 1991 on the strength of a four-song demo, and a first stab at an EP with David Briggs got shelved for sounding too slick. "No Rain" would be the breakthrough.
