Outside the music box
13 New, Original Tunes from Bob McCarroll
Bob McCarroll Steps Outside The Music Box
with a Bold, Heartfelt, and Genre-Blending
New Album
Step Outside The Music Box with Bob McCarroll’s latest musical journey—a heartfelt and eclectic collection of 13 original songs that reflect the depth and range of his songwriting mastery. Known for his work rooted in the American Songbook tradition, McCarroll ventures into fresh, expressive territory, blending acoustic ballads with jazz-inflected compositions in this richly textured new project.
The album opens with the tender "Are You Gonna Love Alone," a moving dedication to his daughter that sets the emotional tone of the record. From there, McCarroll’s lyrical and melodic gifts shine across a variety of moods and themes. One standout is the touching lullaby "When You Close Your Eyes," written for his newborn granddaughter—a timeless piece destined to resonate across generations.
But it's not all sentiment and soul-stirring melodies. With his signature wit, McCarroll lightens the mood in tracks like "That Perfect Place" and "Did I Get The Day Right," a clever and playful take on a clandestine romance.
Outside The Music Box is both a personal and musical evolution—an inspired, genre-blending collection that invites listeners to step beyond the familiar and into a world of heartfelt storytelling, lush harmonies, and authentic emotion.
