Hey there fellow seekers of creation and curiosity, I am especially overjoyed today to report that there is some new Bruce Springsteen out there. My affinity for the Boss equals that of a beloved family member, so I just can never get enough, even if it's just a guest duet spot on "Broken Radio", a great song on Jesse Malin's new disc Glitter in the Gutter. If you're not familiar with Jesse, it's about time you did...he fronted the 90's punk outfit D Generation, but has
released three stellar solo albums since 2002, each better than the last. Malin's good friend Ryan Adams produced his debut The Fine Art of Self Destruction , and guests on the new record as well. Jesse holds musical similiarities with Springsteen in being able to balance driving rock anthems with sensitive piano ballads, but definitely carves out his own identity with his unique and insightful songwriting. Here's the collaboration between the two, sure to be a classic, but hey don't take my word for it. Do yourself a favor, go out and pick up Jesse's music, and maybe use this as an excuse to rediscover some old Springsteen. As for me, I just went back and listened to The River for the first time in awhile, and man does it hold up. I didn't do a write in vote for Bruce in 2004 for nothing...
