The Wallflowers

As part of the mid-'90s revival of roots-rock, The Wallflowers held a special connection to one of the original inspirations: vocalist/songwriter/guitarist Jakob Dylan. Though he is the son of a legend, Jakob's similarities to his father are occasional -- in fact, The Wallflowers are more influenced by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers than original '60s folk-rock, though lyrically, Jakob remains a close companion to the original Dylan.
