The Wallflowers - 2005-05-03 - Chicago, IL (FM)

One of the most difficult things in rock is for a son to follow in his father’s footsteps, especially if dad just happens to be one the Mount Rushmore of rock legends. Despite that formidable challenge, Jakob Dylan managed to have himself quite a nice rock and roll career, both with the Wallflowers and on his own. The Wallflower’s 2nd album, Bringing Down The Horse, went to #4 on the Billboard charts and certified 4 times platinum. The disc yielded 4 singles which received substantial airplay, One Headlight, 6th Avenue Heartache, Three Marlenas and The Difference. While subsequent Wallflower discs weren’t quite as successful, all 4 managed to crack the top 50 on the billboard charts. Jakob’s 2 solo albums, released in 2008 and 2010, both cracked the to 25 on the Billboard charts. This FM broadcast captures Jakob with the Wallflowers on May 3, 2005, 16 years ago today, in Chicago.
