On Jesse Malin in this week’s Uncut new letter which primarily focuses on Neil Young …

Coincidentally, one of the new records I’ve been playing quite a bit recently is On Your Sleeve by Jesse Malin, an album of cover versions of some of Jesse’s favourite songs. I’m not entirely sure the world needs another version of “Wonderful World”, but elsewhere there are affecting takes on Paul Simon’s “Me And Julio Down By the School Yard”, “Sway” by the Rolling Stones, The Hold Steady’s “You can Make Them Like You” and Neil’s “Looking For A Love”.
