Jesse Malin - On Your Sleeve

Facts 2008 covers album from the former leader of D-Generation. Recorded over seven days and featuring interpretations of classic singer/songwriters Tom Waits and Neil Young, contemporary greats such as the Hold Steady and the Kills, Punk icons the Ramones and the Clash, Lou Reed and even a Sam Cooke standard - Jesse tips his hat to a small collection of writers that inform his unique musical identity and appeal. As a performing songwriter, Jesse appreciated the challenge of covering unique melodies not of his own design. Jesse Malin's musical career began at twelve years old when he fronted New York hardcore band Heart Attack and spanned eight years with D Generation before culminating in three critically-acclaimed solo albums this decade past. The most recent of these came in the form of 2007's Glitter in the Gutter, which saw Jesse accompanied by a raft of talented performers including long-time companion/sometime producer Ryan Adams, Josh Homme and Bruce Springsteen.
