Biography
"John Fogerty's five-man backup band was
slouch-free — with the show-stealer trophy going to a shaggy-haired
Bob Malone." “A new peak in what's been a
rather mountainous career, Malone's latest shows off everything
that makes him dear to his loyal fans." “US blues pianist Bob Malone cakewalked
all over the keys with rip-roaring pyrotechnics that were part skill
and part showmanship, often eschewing the piano stool and jumping
around like a rock star … [but] in such soul-baring numbers
as Ingénue and Butterfly, head-tossing antics were put aside
for an engrossing melancholic sweetness. Beneath the banter and
the wizardry Bob Malone revealed a raw and splendidly large heart.”
“The presence of first-call players like Leland Sklar, Chris Trujillo, and Marty Rifkin, plus stellar guitar work from producer Bob DeMarco alongside the artist’s New Orleans drenched piano, raises the bar for this troubadour. On his 6th CD, Bob Malone is clearly in the big leagues”
“Bob Malone doesn’t just accompany himself on piano. He supports his singing with pulsating, roaring keyboard work that grabs you and shakes you until you cry for mercy.”
