JESSE MALIN / VARIOUS - Silver Patron Saints: The Songs of Jesse Malin - 3LP - Black Vinyl [NOV 8]

3LP - Standard Edition Black Vinyl. Housed in a 3-page book gatefold jacket, the triple-vinyl set designed by Sam Harris features photos by Vivian Wang and liner notes by David Fricke.

"As always in my songs, the themes are all there- transcendence, positivity and global unity through music," says Jesse Malin. "This is what I love to do, and I'm going to do everything I can to keep doing it."

Silver Patron Saints: The Songs of Jesse Malin is a tribute and benefit album, with all proceeds to Jesse Malin's Sweet Relief artist fund. "This record is a dynamite and long-overdue awareness project, non-stop star time in vigorously personal twists on behalf of a great rock & roll songbook," writes longtime supporter, David Fricke. In May 2023, Jesse Malin suffered a rare spinal stroke that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Last December, Malin told Rolling Stone, "I have a lot of anxiety and insomnia. Your mind goes into some dark places. But I just have to keep a positive outlook and believe." He is now undergoing a strict daily regimen with physical therapy and stem-cell treatments. "I am getting some strength back in my legs, but it moves a lot slower than I would like. I don't want to portray it like I'm ready to do the James Brown splits onstage. I definitely have a long way to go, but I'm blessed and so grateful for the amazing fans and friends that I have."

Fricke adds, "Jesse Malin knows about scars - from his youth, observation and more. They all carry tales, and he's not done telling them. Silver Patron Saints is the gang back at the bar, coming to the stage to toast the composer and his story so far." Long a contributor to other people's causes, Malin is grateful to all the musicians who have rallied around him. Housed in a 3-page book gatefold jacket, the triple-vinyl set designed by Sam Harris features photos by Vivian Wang and liner notes by David Fricke. The set is available on translucent red/yellow/green vinyl and black vinyl via Glassnote Records.
