New music notes for Jakob Dylan

Son of legendary Bob Dylan, and the former leader of the Wallflowers, Jakob Dylan makes fewer waves with his solo career, begun in 2008.

That's why for his second album Woman and country reunites the legendary T-Bone Burnett, who also procuded the Wallflowers disk, Bringing down the Horse, in 1996 and the singers Neko Case and Kelly Hogan, who work in eight of the eleven pieces on the album . The result is an elegant and passionate music.

Between the artist's voice muffled, a melody with steel guitar shading and a seductive harmonie with the three vocalists,Woman and country, brings up in one wind of freshness. In this second disk accents country-rock, Jakob Dylan describes his loves, fears and his worldview. Indeed in the album the song titled "Everybody's Hurting," expresses the worries that Dylan, here a spokesman for the everyday American, perceives in his country's future. "We've hunted these hills dry," he sings, "we've long outlasted the winter and our last wood pile."

With or without his band, Jakob Dylan will be continued to innovate in his music in big happiness of his fans.
