• Track Listing

NYC-based alternative/Americana singer-songwriter Jesse Malin follows up 2019's Sunset Kids with the new Wicked Cool Records release, Sad and Beautiful World which takes it's name from a line in Jim Jarmusch's 1986 cult-classic Down By Law. The 18-track collection was largely produced by Malin's long-time guitarist Derek Cruz and Geoff Sanoff with Sunset Kids producers Lucinda Williams and Tom Overby helming "Backstabbers" and "The Way We Used To Roll." Malin notes that, "This one is for the survivors, the dreamers, the leavers and the believers. My music has always been about rebirth and redemption. Sad and Beautiful World is for those who pick up the pieces and find beauty in the madness." Sad and Beautiful World features Ryan Adams, Dave "Immy" Immergluck of the Counting Crows, Tommy Stinson of The Replacements, and more.
