Episode 23 - Brenda Hall: Extras by The Jam

I chose Extras by The Jam as it’s always been my favorite album of theirs and I think it’s so underrated. It beautifully captures their range from punk to mod to the influence of Motown and how Paul took that to the Style Council. It has great stripped down versions of some of their harder songs like Eton Rifles and Thick as Thieves, which has a little flub that makes it feel so vulnerable. The rawness of Paul in these versions lets you hear just how talented he is as a songwriter and also how British he is. It’s a perfect collection of unreleased tracks, covers, and rarities. Also, the first time I met Cassy we bonded over our shared love for The Jam and listened to this album and gushed all over it - Brenda Hall.
