TIL that Bob Dylan son had a band called The Wallflowers and their 2nd album sold 4 million copies on the USA and spawned various hit singles, then faded away and were never heard from againA on album wonder
I had that album. Bought it used. It was nice for a while.
>>128294411>various hit singles- 1st single went to #33 in the USA- then One Headlight hit #1- their next single peaked at #73literal one-hit wonder
Probably one of the best albums of thr 90s

Breach [Interscope, 2000]Don't envy Jakob Dylan his dilemma, but don't underestimate his privilege. He's no Julian Lennon, but he's also no Rufus Wainwright, and though he comes up with strong melodies, he's hardly a match for Ben Folds or Elliott Smith, both of whom frame their catchy stuff more idiosyncratically and neither of whom is terribly interesting even so. Dylan's lyrics competently explore the metaphor-laden broken-narrative mode his father invented and loosed on the world, just as his band concept does the flat-bottomed strophic folk-rock his father ditto. Nothing in his singing, his wordplay, or--a few lucky strikes aside--his tunecraft will tempt anyone who isn't stuck on his dad to parse those lyrics, to care what they mean. So he should praise the Lord for his cheekbones, which come from his mom. B-
Other than the very rare exception like Roseanne Cash, music nepobabbies are almost always a bad joke.
one headlight is better than any bob dylan song, but both are shit
Love this version of One Headlight with Springsteen where he effortlessly mogs the entire bandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY3q69KWqb4
>>128294832nta but that's the airplay chart (none of their songs charted on the Hot 100 because no physical singles), they had a bunch of top 10s on rock radio and a 4x platinum album so I wouldn't say one-hit wonder
>>128294411One Headlight still gets played in supermarkets all across america
I really like the cover of I started a joke but I had no idea he was Dylan kin
