You may not be familiar with Bill Mallonee‘s unique brand of soulful folk/rock, but Billboard Magazine is: “Dylan-tinged vocal and introspective lyrics that spin out big-picture stories imbued with chilling small details.”
You may not know that Bill Mallonee is one of the best songwriters in the world, but the New York Press does: “...the best folk-rock act nobody's ever hear of... The intelligence and intensity of Mallonee's writing has elicited comparisons to Dylan... Given the consistency and quality of Mallonee's work over eight albums, he is arguably the first writer since John Prine to make the comparison plausible.”
You might not realize that Bill Mallonee is 23 albums into saving us from would-be idols, lame cover bands, irrelevant rappers and tired has-beens, but Rolling Stone does: “Compelling, insightful, [Bill Mallonee] continues to probe through Americana rock and roll proving that sometimes the only story worth telling is that of the journey.”
