Good People [LP]

Few creatives have had as much of a varied experience in the music world as Bob Malone, who has distinguished himself as a keyboardist, songwriter, live performer, and elite session musician for more than two decades. Malone shows off his talents as a solo artist on his latest set Good People. Good People serves up a variety of bluesy rock, ranging from contemplative ballads to sweeping jams, all carried along by smokey vocals and Malone's unmatched ability to wrest every possible drop of emotion out of a piano. In addition to seven originals, Malone puts his distinctively original stamp on three covers: "Bad Moon Rising," by John Fogerty - whom Malone has played keyboards with since 2011 - Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well," and the Bob Dylan classic "Tangled Up in Blue."
