Editorial Reviews

Phantom Tollbooth, Matt Kilgore, 1/31/03

"Simply an incredible album. The darkness and desperation are so poignant"

Product Description

Paste is proud to offer a second solo record by Bill Mallonee (formerly of Vigilantes of Love) in under a year. We've long been admirers of the depth and quality of our favorite artist. But not enough is said about the prodigiousness of this guy. With a catalog numbering in the dozens of incredible songs, few can match him.

This new record, rumored to be an "Americana" release, rather continues in the roots-pop milieu Mallonee has been mining for the past few years. You'll hear striking modern touches right along classic red-clay Mallonee. Perhaps the darkest release yet from the Athens indie hero, Locket Full of Moonlight will grip you. Like a fine wine, it's not sweet, but swish it around in your mouth - savor it and finally let it slide down your gullet. Deep.

You'll get it, in more ways than one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zam!, November 28, 2004
This review is from: Locket Full of Moonlight (Audio CD)
Now if you ask me, and plenty folks do on a frequent basis, Bill Malonee is the finest tunesmith in America. In fact, now I know a lot of ya'll are going to cringe at this but, I feel deep down in my plaque-strained heart that Bob Dylan was the Bill Malonee of the 1960s. I ain't never seen anyone churn out the volume of high quality material as Bill Malonee. He is like a well oiled machine with a knack for thought-provoking, insightful lyrics coupled with catchy, boot-scootin' tunes.

I first discovered Bill back when everybody else discovered Bill... when he was calling himself The Vigilantes of Love. It weren't a band, per say, as much as it was Bill and a rotating group of musicians collected as need be to back him up in the studio or on the road. You'd think that anybody churning our the volume of material this guy comes up with would end up shilling mediocrity just to make the mortgage payments on his house. Well I got news for you. Either Bill already has his house paid off, or he has higher standards. Maybe both. Me and Mama done paid off the double wide trailer a few years back and boy howdy did it feel good to get that done and over with. Now we have a little extra cash on hand and can afford a few luxuries in life... like barbeque flavored Spam in stead of just plain ole' regular Spam. It costs a little more, but that zesty flavor is worth every extra penny - plus that Junior likes to lick the extra barbeque sauce out of the tin when we get the Spam out. Them sharp edges liked to sliced his tongue off a few weeks ago, but that boy just keeps going at it every time we decide to have us some Spam at the supper table.

I ain't aware of Bill Malonee ever writing a song about Spam, but he should, Bill writes about struggles and redemption and this here CD is filled with beautiful, catchy tunes about just that. If all was right with the world, then Bill would be getting non-stop radio airplay and his records would be up in the top of the charts. Bernice, that's Betty Mae's cousin who's staying with us until she and Lester get things worked out, was listening to this here CD just last weekend and she asked me why this feller' ain't never had any top 10 hits. That is, as they say in high falootin' places, a "conundrum." He should have had a string of hits by now and he should have been able to move on up from barbeque flavored Spam, to the penultimate Spam product - Zesty Ranch Barbeque flavored Spam with chunks of cheese. I've done my part, I purchased his music. You ought to do the same and then start spreading the word.
