On Born Too Late, Bob returns to some of the deep jazz roots he brought to vivid life while studying at the famed Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. These songs are masterful meditations filled with the kind of wry, dry insights about the stresses of our modern world that have led critics to dub him a "raconteur of the human condition.” Longtime fan favorites "Home To Me" and "So What If It's Hallowe'en" are included in this set, and in addition to Malone’s longtime crew of top-shelf L.A. backing musicians, the record also features special guest turns by Blues Music Awards winning acoustic blues masters Paul Rishell & Annie Raines.

“Blazing and beautiful. Burning and elegant. Subtle and expansive. Unique and timeless. Malone contains multitudes of rhythm, soul, jazz, blues, smoke and magic. He’s a pianist’s pianist; it sounds as if he’s slept inside a baby grand for years, so intimate is he with the alphabet of the ivories. "Born Too Late" is one for the ages.” AMERICAN SONGWRITER 

“Take Tom Waits, Steely Dan, Dr. John, Louis Armstrong, and Harry Connick Jr., put ‘em in a drink shaker, add sweetener, and pour out Bob Malone…Though a bluesy streak runs through these songs, Malone, like Mose Allison, uses blues as a stop on the way to the jazz and elegant pop music that fuels his muse….Nimble playing and smart, sassy lyrics. There’s plenty to like here.” BLUES REVIEW
