“Detroit-born Malone has been making quite an impact on the European concert and festival circuit during the past few years and this earthy performer's sixth album is a gem of the highest order, boasting some compelling original material delivered by a finely honed band steeped in the spirit of blues.

The singer-guitarist's vocals may be eerily reminiscent of Paul Rodgers of Free and Bad Company fame on tracks such as Living The Blues and Under Pressure but he's a major talent in his own right too, and Stand or Fall should be an essential purchase for blues enthusiasts everywhere."

“A huge blast from Mr Malone - one of Detroit's finest exports. He has a great voice, perfect for Blues but with a deep soulful feel to it as well and there is almost a gospel feel on the title track.

On first listen it is pretty much a standard Blues/rock outing but you need to listen deeper and hear the power and the real funk behind tracks like 'Ain't No Tellin' which kicks ass like early Little Feat crossed with Bad Company.

Without question one of the best albums of its kind I've heard this year - the Blues is alive and well with Marcus Malone"
