Born Too Late
(2006)

With his new CD, “BORN TOO LATE” (February 2006), Bob takes it up a notch while returning to some of the deep jazz roots he brought to vivid life while studying at the famed Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. Malone’s new songs are masterful meditations filled with the kind of wry, dry insights about the stresses of our modern world that have led critics to dub him a “raconteur of the human condition.” In addition to Malone’s longtime crew of top-shelf L.A. backing musicians, the CD also features special guest turns by Handy Award winning acoustic blues masters Paul Rishell & Annie Raines. Already in regular rotation on XM Radio’s Bluesville, and getting much play on over 250 other NPR and A3 stations.

“Take Tom Waits, Steely Dan, Dr. John, Louis Armstrong, and Harry Connick Jr., put ‘em in a drink shaker, add sweetener, and pour out Bob Malone…Though a bluesy streak runs through these songs, Malone, like Mose Allison, uses blues as a stop on the way to the cocktail jazz, big band, and elegant pop music that fuels his muse….Nimble playing and smart, sassy lyrics. There’s plenty to like here.”
Blues Review

“Though he came from Jersey and has made L.A. his home for 15 years, the growly voiced, witty singer/songwriter crisply embodies the soul of New Orleans. Malone is truly a blast to listen to. He’s an exciting piano pounder, a heartfelt vocalist, and an insightful lyricist who deserves a wider audience.”
Music Connection

“The Bobster has unleashed and erudite and learned discourse on life and times. [Born Too Late] is real and evocative and cerebral and like nothing else on the blues market. Tom waits meets Prof Longhair. What a blast.”
