He released his album 'Salvation' in 2017, a collection of 10 songs recorded at Kevin McKendree's (Delbert McClinton, Brian Setzer) The Rock House Studio in Franklin TN and mixed by Steve Orchard (Paul McCartney, Chris Cornell) and toured the UK and USA in support.
Between 2017 and 2019 Malcolm played around 100 shows in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand with 'The Music of Cream', a tribute to his father's band, featuring special guests Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) and Robben Ford (Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell).

Work begins later this year on his next album of songs and he will be touring internationally with his band in support of the release.
