The great Jesse Malin (formerly fronting punk combo D-Generation) has a new album out. His third solo effort is titled Glitter in the Gutter, and he gets some great help from his friends Bruce Springsteen, Jakob Dylan and Jesse Malin.

The Boss shares vocals on the magnificent song «Broken Radio». «He drove up on his motorcycle and banged it out. The guy just sang his heart out» Jesse told in an interview to the Asbury Park Press.

Watch here the first video-clip off the album:
«Don’t Let Them Take You Down»

«The Music of Bruce Springsteen», organized by Music For Youth, will be held next week, on April 5th, at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Twenty artists will render tribute to Springsteen by performing his songs. Amongst them: Jesse Malin, Marah, Pete Yorn, Steve Earle, Badly Drawn Boy or Ronnie Spector. The concert will benefit a NY Initiative Program to Support Music Education for Underprivileged Young People.

Bruce Springsteen has contributed an instrumental version of «Once Upon a Time in the West» to the recently released tribute album «We All Love Ennio Morricone». Springsteen has been a fan of Morricone’s work for years. During The River tour, the song he has now recorded was used as an intro to «Badlands», and the original Morricone version was heard each night at the end of every Tom Joad show during 1996/97. Both the Boss and the Maestro met during that tour’s stop in Rome, in 1996.

Bruce Springsteen won yesterday in L.A. two Grammy awards. He was nominated, and won, in two categories:

Best Traditional Folk Album («We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions»)

Best Long Form Video («Wings For Wheels: The Making of Born to Run»)

The big winners were The Dixie Chicks, with five awards for their album «Taking the Long Way». Bob Dylan got a Grammy for «Modern Times» (Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album), and The Police reunited and sang «Roxanne».

Joe Grushecky debuts a new video. The clip for the song «A Good Life» has just been released. Bruce Springsteen sings and plays guitar on this song.
