The Wallflowers - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 5-3-2005

I'm posting episodes of the PBS TV show "Soundstage" in more or less random order. This time, the Wallflowers came up. If you're not familiar, the best known fact about the Wallflowers is that the band's lead singer and songwriter, Jakob Dylan, is the son of music legend Bob Dylan. It's easy to hear the connection in their similar voices. But Jakob wasn't just coasting on his father's fame, because the band has done a lot of good music, including a few hits that could be considered classics.

The Wallflowers are best known for one album, "Bringing Down the Horse." Released in 1996, it sold four million copies in the U.S. alone, more than any album by Jakob's illustrious father. This concert took place in the same month as the release of another album, "Rebel, Sweetheart." The album got some critical praise, but unfortunately by this time the sales had dropped greatly compared to 1996. Most of the songs performed are from that album, with some better known songs from earlier albums mixed in. Unfortunately, two of the band's biggest hits, "6th Avenue Heartache" and a cover of David Bowie's "'Heroes,'" are not included here.

Despite being unreleased, the sound quality is excellent, and there were no problems. The length does seem about five minutes short compared to most other episodes from around this time though, so I wonder if a song is missing. 

This album is 53 minutes long.
