Jesse Malin: Live in Dublin, 1/21/07
I really, really like Jesse Malin‘s new album Glitter In The Gutter, coming out in the U.S. on March 20th on Adeline Records — it may be his strongest and most cohesive album yet. It’s exceptionally listenable, catchy and full of soaring hooks, but also with solid rock sensibilities, crushing lyrical turns, and some ace guest spots (Springsteen and Ryan Adams to name two). Not sure about the pink lettering on the cover, though. But I guess it’s true what they say, real men wear pink.
This exuberant recent show from Ireland is a must-listen, nicely previewing some of his new material and ripping through the back catalog, with two great covers. I’d love to see him live again – he’s so joyful in the middle of the music.

TOO LATE!
If anybody ever bootlegs the Glasgow show we were at the next night I would DIE, since we’d get a mention.

Thank you for the post!
His cover of “Bastards of Young” is very cool. That’s one of my favorite Replacements songs and his version is a nice reworking of it.
(Plus, I just love his New Yawk accent. Very urban!)

malin was the quintessential punk- band-name-dropping, “look, man, I’m from NYC, I’m from the street’, G-D-E chord playing ‘rocker’ when I saw him open for ryan adams. whatever you might see in malin, you might see in sammy hagar. blandecliche city.
he’s about as rock and roll as michael scott.

Malin has a totally annoying voice. Like fingernails down a blackboard. He couldn’t make it as a punk rocker back in the day, and he sure hasn’t elevated his quality of music. I have two of his albums (don’t ask me why), but I’ll sure be passing on this one. Horrible stuff. But, to each his own.

I can agree that Malin’s voice is an acquired taste.
