About This:

Bob Malone's new CD, "Like It Or Not", shows a restless artist expanding his musical pallette. Along with Bob's usual popping horn arrangements is the first appearance of string arrangements on a Bob Malone album. Some island music strains are also heard from time to time, along with the expected New Orleans grooves. Also, some of Bob's finest ever ballad singing and writing are featured on this release. Through all of this musical travelling, Bob's sly wit, virtuoso piano chops, and whiskey-soaked vocals are always along for the ride.

Bob Malone's previous two Delta Moon/Chartmaker releases, "The Darkest Part Of The Night" (1996) and "Bob Malone" (1998), introduced him to a national audience and vast critical acclaim. Selections from "Darkest Part Of The Night" won the Great American Love Song Contest, and appeared on the Performing Songwriter Magazine compilation disc. By the time "Bob Malone" was released, Bob had been voted one of the "Best Unsigned Artists In L.A." by Music Connection Magazine five years in a row, and had been featured on NPR's Acoustic Cafe "Best 5 Unsigned Artists In America" special. Bob has won songwriting awards in Texas, California, New York, Florida, and Michigan and has been featured on NPR's Car Talk, Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour, Acoustic Cafe, and Rock & Roots as well as The Travel Channel, and the ABC television series Cupid. Bob has opened for The Neville Brothers, Rev. Al Green, Boz Scaggs, Vonda Shepard, Average White Band, Manhattan Transfer, and Eric Burdon, among many others.
