While his dad was a great songwriter, Jakob's voice is 10x better. The one thing I never really liked about Bob was his voice. Some great songwriters, musicians and such need a front-person. I think the same holds true for Jimmy Hendrix & Stevie Ray Vaughn.

@@jamesanderson5268 he and the Wallflowers, along with the other bands and projects he’s been involved with, have been very prolific. Perhaps not as many hits as his dad, but more recent albums (Wallflowers and solo) have topped the charts. No need for hits to be prolific, though. Plenty of Bob Dylan’s songs have been made more famous as covers, as well, so that makes it even more difficult to compare the two. My guess is Jakob hasn’t tried to fill his dad’s shoes, anyway - his dad is a legend, and he’s paved his own way.

Jakob was constantly irritated by interviewers' insistence on focussing on him, while he kept trying to get them to realize that he was only one member in a band -- the others weren't getting recognition he insisted they deserved.

Jakob Dylan, son of Bob. This is easily my favorite Wallflowers song, but it's by no means their only good one. "6th Avenue Heartache" is a banger, as is "The Difference", and "Three Marlenas." If I had to pick your next one, though, it would be their cover of David Bowie's song "Heroes." It's SO GOOD. I'd also like to suggest another great 90s song with a mysterious vibe, "Walking on the Sun" by Smash Mouth. You're also about due for another Counting Crows song, especially given how much you loved "Mr. Jones". May I suggest "A Long December"?

I was saying been listen to since 1998.Good 90's song...Smashing Pumpkins had alot of good songs.Hell they just came out with a record lol

Jakob Dylan: "I tend to write with a lot of metaphors and images, so people take them literally. The song's meaning is all in the first verse. It's about the death of ideas. The first verse says, 'The death of the long broken arm of human law.' At times, it seems like there should be a code among human beings that is about respect and appreciation. I wasn't feeling like there was much support outside the group putting together the record. In the chorus, it says, 'C'mon try a little.' I didn't need everything to get through, I could still get through - meaning 'one headlight."

You mean to say he got talent and certainly not from his father, who had none, at least not of a musical kind.

Jay, Amber, that “sound” you’re referring to, I believe, is simply a slide being played on the electric guitar. Basically, a hard tube over the finger being used on the fretboard to create those sustained notes, much like a steel guitar played sitting down. It’s a great sound. Haven’t seen it in the comments, figured I’d drop it here. Love the channel, keep up the great vids.

The sound you are talking about is a Hammond B-3 organ through a Leslie speaker (it spins to give that warbling sound). There is also a resonator guitar and a pedal steel guitar, both played with slides.

Love this song. I always thought that the part where he says...i turn the engine but the engine doesnt turn....actually sounds like trying to start a vehicle. And this is the most similar i think to jakob's dad bob dylan. In fact i was not always a big fan of bobs singing until i heard his son, heard bob in there, and allowed myself to like it. If you like 90s you want bush glycerine and Live lightning crashes. Both very nice.

This is the soundtrack of driving to the mall for a shift at The Body Shop when I was 18. I miss the 90s! Edit: Yes, this was the 90s, came out in 1996 to be exact. I loved both this song and “6th Avenue Heartache.” Amber, I think the instrument you’re talking about is a Hammond B3 organ. To me it always adds a classic soulful, bluesy, Southern feel to a song.

As someone from Grand Rapids, MI it would be remiss of me not to mention our hometown artists The Verve Pipe who had a massive song also in 1996, about similar subject matter. It is called “The Freshmen” and is definitely more downtempo but felt similar to me for some reason. It was extremely overplayed on our stations here in Grand Rapids so I burned out on it back in the day. But I listened to it again recently and realized it’s a pretty good song, and Brian Vander Ark’s voice fits it so well.

That is Jakob Dylan, Bob Dylan's son! Yes, this song came out in mid 99's. GOOD EAR! Thank You guys, I've suggested this song many times, it always had significance in my life as a struggling teen but it really reminds me of my best friend that passed in 2014 at age 28, in the song he's singing the narrative as he's in the line of cars during her funeral procession, he goes back and forth btwn describing his girl friend and her struggles & eventual passing & then updating us on where he's at during the dreaded drive to the cemetery. I played this over and over the day it my own friend passed, which makes the lines "man, I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same" really stand out & ring true for me. We shared many of the same issues in life but the words in this song described her life so much. We lived in a poverty depressed area in a small town & if you couldn't get ahead & out for whatever reasons then you're pretty much stuck there and most young ppl that stayed fell into life of addiction and crime plus there's literally nothing to do for entertainment, they've made a lot of changes to the town now but it's still an issue. We both fell to really hard times she had a very hard life & tho she was younger than me, she's the one that succumbed to it all. Sadly D rate is pretty high due to depression & & O.D.s, which usually go hand in hand. I cried while watching the reaction, bittersweet tears, but I'm really glad y'all picked this one, hope you do more of the Wallflowers! "SIXTH AVENUE HEARTACHE" is another one by them and They also did a good cover of VAN MORRISON's "INTO THE MYSTIC"

Yesss! Now try some Gin Blossoms, “Found out about you” and “Hey Jealousy” AND Matchbox 20, “Back 2 Good” and “Bent” God I miss the 90s… 💔

Definitely nineties. This was a big hit when I was in my twenties. As Patrick said, this is Bob Dylan's son. Elder Dylan used to catch a lot of flak for his vocals -- Jakob runs circles around him in that department. Would have been interesting to hear them do something together.

I had such a crush on the lead singer in the 90's! A couple other songs of theirs to check out would be 6th Avenue Heart Ache and God Says Nothing Back.

This song has an infectious groove. Great bass; great organ; great drums. Great song altogether.

One Headlight is one amazing song. I can feel and taste the 90s when I hear this music. Another time machine

It has to be difficult to be in the long shadow of one of the greatest songwriters of all time (Bob Dylan). The band's founder, Jakob Dylan, never caught on like his father, despite one of the great songs of the 90's, 'One Headlight.' The lyrics are a metaphor for growing up/living in America.

Bob Dylan’s Son, Jacob. 10th Avenue Heartache is pretty good too. That guitar! It’s all him & Les Paul & his amp. If you listen again you can hear him laying down some sweet licks all the way through the song. You really should hear Natalie Merchant, Carnival, From the Tiger Lilly album. I’m telling you… Much love ❤️

J & Amber, singer is Bob Dylan's son Jakob. "Three Marlenas" is a good one.

In the song "Mr Jones" by Counting Crows, there's a line near the end that says "I wanna be Bob Dylan". The Counting Crows ended up doing a tour with the Wallflowers, and sometimes the Crows singer would sing "I wanna be Jacob Dylan".

You must watch Echo In The Canyon. A documentary by Jacob Dylan about Laurel Canyon in LA, the birth of the California sound and how all the groups back in the 60s & the 70s got started. He has some great interviews and sings the whole soundtrack. One of my favorite songs he does is Going Back by The Byrds. Check it out you'll love it. He is such a talent.

His best song, Jakob. It reminds me of another song in that same groove. Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik also from the 90s.

I haven't listened to The Wallflowers in forever! Great selection.

Jakob Luke Dylan (born December 9, 1969) is an American singer-songwriter. He rose to fame as the lead singer and primary songwriter for the rock band the Wallflowers. Born in New York City to musician Bob Dylan and model Sara Lownds, Dylan began his music career in various indie bands before creating the Wallflowers in 1989. As part of that group, he has written hit songs such as "6th Avenue Heartache" and "One Headlight", which is listed at number 58 on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Pop Songs", and for which he won two Grammy Awards. More recently, Dylan has released two solo albums: Seeing Things (2008) and Women + Country (2010). The latter became Dylan's highest-charting album since the Wallflowers' 1996 breakthrough Bringing Down the Horse, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard 200.

Love this band. Right on the money with 90s. Late 90s to be more specific. Another good song from them is Sixth Avenue Heartache, and has that really nice guitar sound Amber dug.

Oh wow! I haven't heard this song in years! The entire album is amazing. I pretty much played it on repeat for quite a while.

Everytime I hear this song remember my coworkers in the 90s, it would always play on the radio when we were hanging out.

I think there were something like 7 hits off this album. Great underrated album of the 90s

When i first saw the video on MTV in the 90s. I fell in love with the song /singer❤❤❤❤

The haunting background melody is the wood-paneled organ that you see in the rear right corner every now and then.

This song transports me back to the 90s. Makes me feel instant sadness and nostalgia lol

Bob Dillon Son is the lead singer, love this song

My ex was obsessed with this song when it first came out. Played it in the house, car, even at the bar. 26 years later, I actually still love it

I'm happy you've tackled this song as your first foray into the Wallflowers. This is my favorite song of theirs. And when you mentioned you didnt know who the lead singer was, I knew it would blow your minds to find out that this is none other than Jakob Dylan... son of Bob Dylan!

90’s music is like an oil drill platform that just will never stops giving. So many talented artists and bands overshadowed by the great ones (Nirvana, Guns, Metallica, Michael Jackson, Madonna, etc). I keep finding good stuff from the 90’s.

The drums are so clean and so precise on this track. My goodness.

The keyboard player is now part of Foo Fighters and just got inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame with them!

Saw them at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock back around 1993-94. Great band.

Thanks for reminding me one of my favorite songs at the perfect time. I've been in so much pain for a while due to sickness that I just want to die so it ends, hearing again today that "come on try a little, nothing is forever" hit on the spot

Ooh, a favorite of mine from the 90s. I love the way this song is arranged.

When I was living in L.A. in the '90's, Jakob Dylan ran a weekly jam session at Canter's Deli...I think every Tuesday? I used to go there with my guitar and jam sometimes. The Wallflowers were more or less born out of that weekly jam session. My favorite line of this song is " I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn".

Bob Dylan’s sons band. Singer songwriter Jacob Dylan.

1997 release from Wallflowers with Jacob Dylan, Bob's son. You called it for the sound. The instrument sounds like a dobro guitar. It does make a gorgeous sound.

Love this!! He looks a lot like his dad too What a great voice❤

Great to see you guys react to The Wallflowers!! Great band with a lot of great songs. But my question is, if you like the 90s stuff so much how have you not not not reacted to The Dave Matthews Band?!?!?! There is so much talent and amazing music from that band that you need to listen to. Just be forewarned that once you listen to them you will go down that rabbit hole and listen to a lot of their music! From one Physical educator to another, trust me!

0:59, just before the music starts, I already know you two are going to love it.

The instrument that you were trying to figure out is a Whirlitzer Organ. It became popular in horror movies back in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Ed Wood used it a lot and I believe it was used in the score for the original Little Shop of Horrors (1964) debuting in his first film, Mr. Jack Nicholson! (The whole film took nine days to shoot!) It was also popular in roller skating rinks. It died away, but not forgotten, with the end of the innocents era. Using it now gives a good mysterious vibe, especially in this minor key.

This and cold play yellow standout as being those simple catchy pop songs that people love.

Jakob Dylon (Lead Singer) also had a solo career for the years The Wallflowers weren't together. Songs that Jakob released solo I recommend are: Something Good This Way Comes, Evil is Alive and Well, or my favorite, War is Kind.

He’s got an amazing voice and those eyes 💙

"Invisible City" off this album is hauntingly beautiful

Jakob Dylan , the lead singer, Is the son of the legendary Bob Dylan! This song was released in 1996! This is what they used to call alternative rock or college rock because it was very popular on college radio! I love this song and I like his voice, it’s very soothing!❤️❤️

Absolute perfect interplay between guitar, the organ, the bass, the drums, and his voice. They are all right out in front, but never in each other's space.

The verses of this song are more of a hook than the chorus. The song flows so well.

Love this song - the entire album with this song is great! Glad you like it!

Met Jacob Dylan and the Wallflowers when I was managing in hotels. Had drinks with them at a local bar. Coolest guys.

Love this song! Love this entire album! This song came out in 1996! We have the album!

The son of singer Bob Dylan and his music career spans over 60 years by now I think, some songs I believe before I was born but hey, we heard his music on the radio more often than most.
