What they're saying about JD Malone and the Experts

JD Malone and The Experts remind me of that band you stumble across one Saturday night at your local bar that get the crowd jumping by mining a rich catalog of Americana roots, rock 'n roll with one notable difference; these guys are actually good.

Front man Malone is very much a Springsteen/Kid Rock hybrid playing country music with a little bit of soul and an appropriate dash of attitude. On “Just Like New” he is equally at place at a dive bar in New Jersey or playing The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. With the title track “Avalon” Malone’s strength as a storyteller comes through as the impassioned old soul in his voice is coming through taking us on a journey asking Avalon, “You can save me from myself and all my sorrow.”

While Malone’s strong vocals are the clear leader of this band's sound, the musicianship is stellar as part of the aptly named “The Experts” appeal is their obvious musical chemistry. Despite being their first album as a band, it sounds like these players have been together for a very long time. 4 Stars. - David Voight, Toronto Music Examiner
