"Jesse MAlin is breaking ground rapidly.I felt that this single is a great buy - not only for the avid fan but for those new to the hauntingly brilliant artist that is Jesse Malin.ALthough I feel that this would certainly be a supplementary buy (in addition to his debut album "TFAOSD") it would never the less be a worthwile one.Wendy is one of the stand out songs of the albums as it rocks hard and fast all the way through - with enough cutting lyrics and broken hearted and abandoned sentiment to warrant the cynical growl.Death and Glory forms part of a tribute (which also was the name for the tour in honour of The Clash lead Joe Strummer) which is both fitting and beautifully performed.However it is the third track that makes handing over the money completely worthwile - the 3 Martini Lunch is a Graham Parker cover but words cannot describe the pain, misery and beautiful storylike song structure.Trust me on this one."
