Jakob Dylan And Three Legs and Mimicking Birds at Fitzgerald Theater
His surname may be synonymous with one of the 20th century’s most iconic musicians, but Jakob Dylan never used his father’s cultural influence to further his own career. In fact, the younger Dylan’s band, The Wallflowers, struggled in L.A.’s oversaturated music scene for seven years before hitting it big with 1996’s Bringing Down The Horse. The album succeeded on its own catchy alt-pop merits, propelling Jakob to international stardom. Even with The Wallflowers still recording and touring, Jakob has found time to also pursue a successful solo career, including 2008’s Rick Rubin-produced Seeing Things and this year’s Women And Country, which features a backing band, Three Legs, that includes Neko Case and Kelly Hogan.
