Poor Boy

After waiting 12 years to get a new solo recording by subdues' Tommy Malone he has released his second within a year. POOR BOY is his third, and arguably finest solo album. In the course of these 11 songs old flames get recalled, destructive friendships get ended, and true love gets rekindled. There's room for serious reflections, sharp observations and pure fun. The spirit of his New Orleans home can be heard between the lines. And as always, Malone displays a master songwriter's knack for making these personal tales sound universal.
