专辑简介

The first full-length album by JD Malone & The Experts was produced by JD, Dean Sciarra & Grammy Winner Phil Nicolo. It was recorded at Studio 4 from April 6 thru April 22, 2011 and was released on July 12th, 2011 containing 13 new recordings plus 5 bonus tracks on disc 1 along with a DVD documentary of the band during the recording of "Avalon."

This [Philly] band formed in 2009 and has just released its first album. Avalon follows in the line of sounds by American rock bands such as Creedence and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (the only two nonoriginals on the two-disc CD/DVD set are by those bands), while also incorporating the kind of twang and harmonizing you might hear from the Everly Brothers or Foster & Lloyd. But it never sounds derivative. Front man J.D. Malone, formerly of Steamroller Picnic and a fixture on the Philly music scene, writes songs that grab you right away and then resonate deeply. The four Experts behind the singer-guitarist enhance the freshness and vitality with tight ensemble playing that also projects a live immediacy. In other words, a pretty impressive debut.
