SOMETHING GOOD THIS WAY COMES - JAKOB DYLAN
With the Wallflowers on hiatus, Jakob Dylan has been flying solo for a while, and something clicked when he opened as an acoustic artist for T-Bone Burnett in 2006. The first single from his Rick Rubin-produced solo debut, “Seeing Things” (June 10), recalls the minimalist storytelling of country blues masters like Robert Johnson, while offering a modern, latte-friendly sound. Over a spare, finger-picked acoustic guitar, Dylan dreams of picture-perfect Americana (”Got sweet apple pie on the stove/The birds are all flying low”), with a relaxed, Springsteen-esque vocal.
