The Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse
Genre: Rock, Folk rock, Country rock
Released: May 21, 1996
When people talk about Jakob Dylan these days, they're less likely to refer to his famous father than to his band, the Wallflowers, and their breakthrough album, Bringing Down the Horse. Not only a staggering commercial success, the disc is also a superb example of the folk-rock Jakob's daddy helped pioneer more than 30 years ago. The Wallflowers don't need family relations to command respect. Young Dylan's songwriting remains shaped by echoes,the anthemic "One Headlight" carries a distinct Tom Petty-like urgency, and "Invisible City" may be the best song Bruce Springsteen hasn't written in years. There are still plenty of genetic imprints. "Josephine" turns on a chord change straight out of "Just Like a Woman," and lines like "I've learned to compromise good people for alibis" show that the apple continues to fall pretty close to the tree. Its a good sign that since this album was relesed in 1996 i still continue to listen to this album often. If you enjoy the song below i strongly suggest you pick the album.
