Billie Joe Armstrong – “Black Haired Girl” (Jesse Malin Cover)

Billie Joe Armstrong – “Black Haired Girl” (Jesse Malin Cover)

Last month we learned about Silver Patron Saints: The Songs Of Jesse Malin, a new tribute album featuring Bruce Springsteen, Spoon, the Hold Steady, Dinosaur Jr., and more. Today we get to see the full tracklist and hear Billie Joe Armstrong’s contribution.

Armstrong has covered “Black Haired Girl” from 2007’s Glitter In The Gutter. The Green Day leader shared this statement:

Jesse is a dear friend to me… I love his songwriting. He is all heart…His passion is endless. We send each other YouTube videos (mostly old Ramones clips and New York Dolls). Every time I’m in New York he goes out of his way to make me, my friends and my family feel at home. He’s always down for a laugh or a shoulder to cry on. Jesse, we love you and we’d do anything for you.

In addition to Armstrong’s Malin cover, Green Day just released a video for “Corvette Summer” featuring Hannibal Buress and Mark Hamill. Check out both of those below, where you’ll also find the Silver Patron Saints tracklist.
