Marcus Malone -
Hurricane |
 |
Marcus Malone continues to turn out very high quality
recordings with the release of his latest CD
“Hurricane”. Malone, a Detroit native and current UK
resident, is without question one of the finest vocalists to be
found in the blues, blues/rock, or rock genres. He has a very Paul
Rogers like quality to his voice which, when combined with the
considerable guitar skills of Stuart Dixon, is excellent for the
multiple styles of music he plays. And, after all, Marcus Malone
and his music are much about excellence.
“Hurricane” includes 12 tracks of Malone original
compositions, ranging from tunes that sound like old spirituals to
some pretty hard blues/rock numbers. The musicians are very good,
with the |
aforementioned guitarist Dixon being the stand out player,
but the rest of the band is spot on as well. I particularly enjoy
writing and bringing recordings like this to your attention, ones
that are first rate in every possible category. Every song here is
worthy of you time, and you will especially enjoy the gospel number
“Round The Corner”, the scorching blues of
“Whiskey Talkin”, the very hard rock track
“Crawlin” which is outstanding, and a blues rock beast
and perhaps my favorite on the set “Christine”. No
matter the style, no matter the message, the voice is always
spectacular.
“Hurricane” is a must own for any guitar driven
blues/rock fan as are any other of Malone’s recordings.
