Blind Melon, provenientes de Mississippi, Indiana y Pensilvania, se forma en 1990 en el estado de California. Ya con este nombre, se dirigieron a Capitol Records donde se interesaron en su cuarto demo, llamado "The Goodfoot Workshop" Aunque la banda sólo tenía un repertorio limitado de canciones en el momento, ellos convencieron a la discográfica que tenían un numero considerable de composiciones, firmando por el sello en 1991. La banda comenzó a trabajar en un EP brevemente después de esto
