A história da banda começou em 1990, quando o seu líder e vocalista Shannon Hoon deixa sua cidade natal, Lafayette - estado de Indiana - em direção a Los Angeles, onde encontra os outros membros do grupo.
Já em 1991 o Blind Melon assina um contrato de US$ 500.000 com a Capitol Records e começa a gravar seu primeiro disco, que tinha como título o nome da banda e viria a ser lançado em setembro de 1992.
