When I met him, Jesse said that "Sway" was one song he could put on repeat all day. He covered it on his covers album "On Your Sleeve"

Winter

What is a "jesse malign"?

did a song Keith had very little to do with, on Keith's birthday...still, a very cool version of it..

Very nice. Kind of gives you an idea of how great this song could have been live. Seems like it would be hard for a vocalist because of all the Jaggerisms and ad-libs, but this guy does a nice job of just singing it straight, and the guitarist has a mean Taylor-esque vibrato. They look like they got lost in the groove of the song....its melodicism, the tender lyrics, the atmosphere. - thats what makes the song so powerful. They captured that perfectly. Makes you want to rediscover it all over again.

Nice!

I wish the Stones still could do such intense (club) versions.

But I'm afraid they would ruin the song live just like they did with M. Mile and Sister Morphine.

Nice version. Sounds good.

Jesse Malin is a New Yorker. He was frontman for D Generation, a hard rock band; but has found his sound better as solo artist. Personally I like him; have all his albums. I THINK he was an item with Lucinda Williams for a while. Anyway - he is one of the good guys.

Jesse's a good friend of mine. We were talking Stones keys years ago, and Winter came up. I was glad to see it show up on the last tour. His new band, St. Marks Social is killer.

Well said. The guitarist is Todd Youth

You mean the latter-day Stones?
Yeah, with Fowler and Blondie doing oohs and calls-and-responses all over the place....yikes!
Im actually glad songs like this and Let It Loose have not been done live, its almost like their sanctified in their time.

Yes!! The Stones are horrible!! Let's rip on them and call ourselves "fans". What keen insight all you whiners lend to this board!

Yes, it's actually an incredibly effective version of the song. I am very impressed!

i love jesse malin. i've seen him live several times the past few years (including a 'living room' performance).

and i agree, the last album w/ St. Marks Social is indeed a killer! I just LOVE this Burning the Bowery track:

He opened with Winter in Manchester UK in December. It was very good.

Fantastic! Really how I'd like the Stones to do this

Yup, Jesse totally gets the vibe of this song and takes it where it needs to go. The Stones, sadly, would totally overlook the opportunity to take the song to this kind of atmosphere.
