Humorously enough, just as word spreads that a large Bob Dylan box set might be in the works, Interscope preps a catalogue compilation devoted to Mr. Zimmerman's son Jakob and his band The Wallflowers. Looking Through You - Another Collection will compile some of The Wallflowers' best-known odds and ends from singles, soundtracks and other compilations.
The Wallflowers were a popular band in the late '90s alt-rock scene for a number of reasons. Yes, Jakob was the son of musical royalty, but his ensemble didn't owe too much of their style - or their success - to him. Dylan's songwriting chops were well-honed, as evidenced by early singles "One Headlight" and "6th Avenue Heartache," and that's been good enough for audiences to this day. While the status of The Wallflowers is more or less in stasis (Dylan recently released his second solo LP and the band's last record was in 2005), Interscope has been keeping the flame alive, first with last year's hits disc Collected 1996-2005 and now this rarities disc.
