Love Springsteen? Buy This Record!,
By Randy "Randy" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love It to Life (Audio CD)
One of the best albums of the year so far! Jesse's got a great voice, the band rocks, and the songs recall Springsteen at his rockin' best. Highlights: "Burning The Bowery" and "All The Way From Moscow."

Lean and Mean and Caring...Good Rock and Roll,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Love It to Life (Audio CD)
This album fits in with a heretofore unidentified niche on the American music scene: lean, driving music that is played and sung with passion, is well-produced, and wears its heart on its sleeve. Think Paul Westerberg or Ryan Adams with a few musical flourishes all its own.
The songs are all good here--"Burning the Bowery" kicks things up with a muscular charm, and the rest of the tracks keep that guitar/bass/drums/rough-hewn vocals thing going. The desperation evident on track two when he shouts "you don't get your money back here!" lets the listener know that this is personal, as indeed it is. My personal favorites on the album right now are "Disco Ghetto" and "Lonely at Heart," a ballad-riffic album closer which reminds me of Westerberg or Adams while briefly lifting from Elvis Costello ("you drink in self-defence"). While he does lift a little bit of attitude and structure from the artists listed above (Westerberg in particular), Malin's still got a distinct personality and distinction of his own. From name-checking Ken Kesey novels to his rocking explorations of the night life of people who simply don't know any other way to live, this album really does a lot of things well. It rocks, it rolls, and it's both intelligent and passionate at the same time. A very good record.

Burn the Bowery,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Love It to Life (Audio CD)
I heard the tune "Burning the Bowery" and had to buy the CD. All I can say is this is a tight Cd with great tunes. Not one dog in the bunch, but it's "Burning the Bowery" that really knocks me out.
Give it chance. Buy Jesse Malin and the St. Marks Social CD "Love it to LIfe", pretty cool, unique stuff.
