The sound of critics sharpening their knives was deafening in 1992 when Bob’s son, Jakob Dylan, released his eponymous debut album with the Wallflowers, but those critical knives were sheathed when Dylan’s band proved to be a jammy roots rock powerhouse and Dylan himself a compelling songwriter and frontman.
The band’s 1996 sophomore album Bringing Down the Horse yielded the song ‘One Headlight,’ which earned the Wallflowers a Grammy win for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
