The Wallflowers are a band that matters. Their songs capture the raw, wondrous everyday mysteries of life itself. Getting together in the early '90s, The Wallflowers, led by Jakob Dylan (son of Bob Dylan) began introducing their rootsy music to their native Los Angeles and finding a particularly congenial haven at the Kibitz Room of Canter's delicatessen, one of the town's more fabled hang-outs. Regularly appearing in the club's Tuesday night jams, they drew crowds hungry for songs void of glitz and pretense, long on soul, smarts and feeling.
Honing its skills playing a number of clubs in L.A., the band worked up demos and in 1992, the group released its self-titled debut album to much critical praise. Rolling Stone awarded the album 3.5 stars commenting, "this album's rootsy sensibility...seems almost classical in its purity…theirs is music that wears well – and it's wise beyond its years." Musician wrote this is an "impressive debut by a real rock 'n' roll band." Audio Magazine determined, "The Wallflowers stand head and shoulders above most new young bands."
With 1996's quadruple platinum, Grammy-winning "Bringing Down The Horse" from The Wallflowers, Jakob Dylan stepped out of the shadows. With the band's third album, "Breach," released October 10, 2000, he and The Wallflowers stride onto a road all their own.
After the release of "Bringing Down The Horse,"The Wallflowers toured extensively for two-and-a-half years. "6th Avenue Heartache" was an alternative rock hit and the Top 10 single "One Headlight" earned Grammys for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance (Group).
Where they have arrived is a place refreshingly genuine. In fact, they may be some of rock's most low-key artists. "I don't really like discussing what songs mean what, but inevitably I'm asked," Jakob suggests, "they're meant to be listened to, not talked about. There shouldn't be a brochure pointing out what everything means, it's almost like cheating when you do. I'm painting pictures of an emotion, I'm not always making a point. I'm not always telling a story, I'm expressing how I feel, and the songs reflect how a lot of people may feel."
