The Wallflowers Albums Ranked

The Wallflowers is an American rock solo project of American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jakob Dylan. The Wallflowers were originally a roots-rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1989 by Dylan and guitarist Tobi Miller. The band has gone through a number of personnel changes but has remained centered on Dylan. After releasing their eponymous debut album in 1992, the Wallflowers released what would become their best-known and highest-selling album, Bringing Down the Horse (1996), which featured the songs “One Headlight” and “6th Avenue Heartache”. Their next album, (Breach) (2000), would feature their first and only single—”Sleepwalker”, at number 76—to reach the Billboard Hot 100. “One Headlight” did not chart due to not being released as a single in the U.S.^[1] The group later released an additional two albums before going on hiatus. In 2012, the Wallflowers reunited to release their sixth studio album, Glad All Over. Nearly ten years later, they are set to release their seventh studio album, Exit Wounds, in July 2021. The Wallflowers have won two Grammy Awards: Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Rock Song for “One Headlight” in 1998. “One Headlight” is also listed at #58 in Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Greatest Pop Songs.

7. Exit Wounds (2021)

“After a nine year hiatus and with a new supporting cast, The Wallflowers are back! Frontman Jakob Dylan is the one constant. His strong songwriting and memorable low/mellow/semi-raspy singing voice are are on full display here. This latest batch of songs are sure to appeal to the Wallflowers faithful. Standout tracks include “The Dive Bar in My Heart” and the Tom Petty-esque “Who’s that Man Walkin’ Round my Garden.” Recommended.”

6. Red Letter Days (2002)

“This feels like the most aggressive of the Wallflowers’ first four albums. There are a few moment where, to me, Jakob seems to be trying a little to hard to sing some rapid fire, intense passages, but on the whole this is pretty good. It has been said that this is a more produced, commercial album than Breach, but I always thought of Breach as being a bit smoother and produced sounding.”

5. The Wallflowers (1992)

4. Glad All Over (2012)

“The wallflowers while they don’t rewrite themselves with every cd, they just keep getting better. and that is really saying something becouse they have been exalent from their first albam. Each song is diffrent, they arnt one of the stamp bands where you hear one song you hear them all, but you know its wallflowers the moment you hear them. No group has a better sound so consistantly.”

3. (Breach) (2000)

“Breach by the Wallflowers is their most creative and best album to date. How can you not get shivers when you listen to Jakob Dylan’s silky and husky voice. His lyrics are pure poetry, who said he’s not as good as his famous pop? Standout tracks include: Letters from the Wasteland, Hand me Down, Sleepwalker, I’ve Been Delivered, Witness, Mourning Train, and Up From Under. If you want an intelligent and fun album then Breach is for you. The Wallflowers have never recorded a bad album so go ahead and pick this up today, you won’t regret it. Happy listening!”

2. Rebel, Sweetheart (2005)

“Released in 2005, this was the Wallflowers studio album until 2012. Brendan O’Brien produced, and it is solid from start to finish. The singles were “The Beautiful Side of Somewhere” and “God Says Nothing Back”, though the strongest titles may be “We’re Alreay There” with it’s beautiful lyrics and chord progressions, and “I Am a Building”, the rythm of which is unlike anything you’ve heard from this band. Most fans are primarily familiar with the band’s 1996 breakthrough Bringing Down the Horse and 2000’s Breach, but this album may be their strongest.”

1. Bringing Down The Horse (1996)

“Jakob Dylan and his band came back stronger and more committed after their first release and a long time on the road to serve up “Bringing Down The Horse,” an outstanding recording that will be considered a classic at some time down the road, if it isn’t already. Anyone who thinks Jakob received this critical acclaim merely because he is the heir apparent to his father’s talent, need think again. The younger Dylan and friends were able to turn out a masterful piece of work despite constant scrutiny and incredibly high expectations. Sure, his voice, especially on songs such as “Invisible City,” sounds eerily like Bob’s, but so what? Springsteen, Petty, and about a thousand other people have imitated the elder Dylan over the years. In Jakob’s case, it’s not imitation so much as heredity.”
