Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

He's a Little Bit Country

You could forgive Jakob Dylan for resting on his laurels. He released five records as the front man for platinum-selling, Grammy-winning rock outfit The Wallflowers. He quietly wowed critics in 2008 with his debut solo album, Seeing Things. Oh, and we hear his dad is pretty good, too. However, Dylan continues to find ways to challenge himself and his listeners, such as on the recently released Women and Country. The album, produced by T-Bone Burnett and featuring choice contributions from singer Kelly Hogan and Vermont-based songwriter Neko Case, is a stirring collection of stark Americana. This Friday, Catch Dylan at the Higher Ground Ballroom with his all-star backing band Three Legs and, of course, Neko Case. Portland Oregon’s Mimicking Birds open.
