Jakob Dylan, fighting to regain the long-lost career momentum he had with The Wallflowers’ 1996 multimillion-selling, Grammy-winning Bringing Down the Horse, is showcasing a new Roots Rock album, Women and Country. To show he means business on this disc, the singer/songwriter reunited with Horse producer T-Bone Burnett.
The new album prominently features Neko Case and Kelly Hogan on supporting vocals, and the two singers are joining Dylan on this tour. Considering Case is a headliner in her own right and Hogan has one of the most appealing and adaptable voices around, it’s like getting three star vocalists for the price of one. Case’s back-up band — dubbed Three Legs — is providing the tour’s instrumental support.
The group plays the Madison Theater in Covington on Saturday. Get show details and Sound Advice here.
