Description
Although the Wallflowers are only on hiatus and not officially broken up, the first solo album by singer and songwriter Jakob Dylan is a near total change from the folk-tinged adult alternative pop-rock of his band. SEEING THINGS was produced by Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, etc.) in his home studio in what has become Rubin's characteristic manner: as close to live as possible and stripped down to the most elemental aspects of the song and its performance; these 10 songs are the most emotionally and lyrically direct tracks Dylan has so far recorded. Comparisons to his father's BLOOD ON THE TRACKS (the 1975 album produced in response to Jakob's parents' divorce) are not unreasonable. Highlights include the centerpiece track, "Will It Grow," and the album's tender closer, "This End of the Telescope." SEEING THINGS was released as both a Digipak CD and a vinyl LP.
