    • ]]>     Jay Brannan - In Living ColorSinger/Songwriter Jay Brannan is releasing a new cover album this week.  The album includes 2 Brannan originals along with 7 cover songs.  The album is definitely enjoyable, but nothing to write home about.  It’s a very simple album, with nothing more than Jay’s guitar and his voice. The lead single from the album is his rendition of the 90′s hit “The Freshmen”, by The Verve Pipe.   I like it, but only because the song was great to begin with.  He brought nothing new or original to the song, other than his own voice.  One song that I do really enjoy is his cover of The Cranberries’ “Zombie.”  It’s fun to hear a slowed down acoustic version of that droning anthem.  Nothing groundbreaking here, and I’m sure I’ll completely forget about this album before July is over, but for now I’m enjoying its company on these hot summer days.
