Malcom Chisholm

Malcolm Chisholm

Any musician or producer, who has ever recorded an album or CD, knows that a great engineer can make the difference between a Hit and a flop track.  This is the reason why Malcolm Chisholm will be known as one of the great unsung heroes who helped shape the sound of blues and rock ‘n’ roll during his career.  This is also why Malcolm was chosen as the 3rd inductee of the Blues’ Who of the Blues series.
