The Wallflowers

The Wallflowers are a rootsy rock ‘n’ roll band formed in Los Angeles in 1989. The group is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Jakob Dylan, who came into the business with a rather unique blessing/curse: He’s Bob Dylan’s son. Despite frequent comparisons to his father, Jakob emerged as a talented artist in his own right. The group is best known for its second album, 1996’s multi-platinum Bringing Down the Horse, which spawned the hit singles “One Headlight,” “6th Avenue Heartache,” “Three Marlenas,” and “The Difference.”

In the years since Bringing Down the Horse, the group has released four albums: (Breach) (2000), Red Letter Days (2002), Rebel, Sweetheart (2005), and Glad All Over (2012). Although Dylan, the lone constant member, has never matched the commercial success of his sophomore LP, he remains a respected figure with two solo albums to his credit.
