    Yeah. I really like him. He pisses on Ryan - Mr derivative - Adams. I loved his first two albums.

    But the difference is that every Ryan Adams song sounds like something else - either David Bowie, Neil Young, The Stones e.t.c, e.t.c.
    Jesse Malin has his own sound. Ergo: He's better.

    I like his first 2 albums quite a bit but no way in hell is he more talented/better singer/songwriter than Adams.

    Name one song of Ryan Adams that isn't a rip off of something else.
    I didn't mind his stuff with Whiskytown mind.

    Jesse Malin's the shit. His records are good, but the songs are much better live. I had 'The Heat' on constant rotation for probably 6 months.

    Oh, and Ryan Adams IS one of the best out there right now. Yeah, not the most original, but I think saying all of his stuff is a ripoff is a bit strong. All musicians rip someone sooner or later, I don't care who it is.

    Just listened to 'Downliner' and 'Riding on the Subway' from Jesse....

    Fuuuuuck!

    Oh, come now.....I could say, name one Malin song that doesn't remind you of a Ryan Adams song :)

    Both are cut from the same cloth. Tough to compare them really as Adams obviously blows Malins (solo) output away as far as sheer numbers. Sure Adams wears his influences on his sleeve, but his ability to take that variety and make something out of it that 'I' find pretty unique is cool.

    It just seems strange that you would find Malin to be all that more original. Did you listen to D Generation by any chance? Pretty good.

    Thank you. They do have a similar sound at times. It's true you can hear Ryan's influences loud and clear...but then, I really like his influences :)

    I like Jesse too; I didn't know he had a new record out.
