On his fourth LP, Jesse Malin gets all American Idol with a set of covers. The track list is ace — from Bruce Springsteen's "Hungry Heart" to Bad Brains' "Leaving Babylon" — but Malin strips the edge from the originals ("Walk on the Wild Side" plus bongos). There are some highlights — an electro update of the Stones' "Sway" and a sweet harmony-laden take on Neil Young's "Looking for a Love" — but other tunes feel too heavy for Malin's reedy voice. Where's Simon Cowell when you need him?
