From The Norman Transcript (Norman, OK) - 2000 Bob Malone In a time of derivative, uninspiring pop music, Bob Malone brings back some good old-fashioned fun. A cross between Dr. John, Ray Charles, Professor Longhair and Billy Joel, Malone is intensely funny and an awesome blues/jazz piano player. He is not to be missed live. In 1995, Malone was awarded Best Male at the Boston Acoustic Underground. He has also been the recipient of the Best New Artist Award at the 1996 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, was featured in the Acoustic Cafe Best 5 Unsigned Artists in America show and was a two-time finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. His 1995 debut CD, The Darkest Part Of The Night is phenomenal, featuring such rocking piano classics as "I Know He's Your Husband (But He Don't Know That I'm Your Man)", "It Took An Older Woman (To Make A Man Out Of Me)", and "Just 'Cause I Came In Here Alone (Don't Mean I Want To Go Home With You)". This album also contains a high-octane version of Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited". For an independent debut, Malone's production and songwriting savvy is quite mature (Bob Malone plays February 18 at the Blue Door in Oklahoma City). A+ - David Schultz
