Discover them, now!
But I guess it's better this way: Jakob Dylan is a complete artist, and I don't think that the mainstream would improve him. If you are a The Wallflowers' huge fan like I am, then you'll probably share my frustration everytime I praize their work, even knowing few people really know about their terrific songs. RED LETTER DAYS is full of chilling and wonderful composicions, and we can feel how energetic and inspired The Wallflowers can sound, listening every single song. If you still don't believe that you should discover them, please listen CLOSER TO YOU. . . it'd be a heartwarming journey, followed by EVERYBODY OUT OF THE WATER, a superb rock song. And be prepared: their last album, REBEL, SWEETHEART, is even better.


Long Live Rock and Roll
The song writing is powerful, and the vocals are, as always, distinct. Red Letter Days is an example of great musicianship. The best part is how the whole album listens from start to finish. If you're looking for music to get deep into, this is it. It had my playing air guitar and singing along. Great fun for a 24 year old! ;).


I feel like I am taking crazy pills!!!
I have given a five star rating to every single one of them except this one, which I give a one star rating to. OK, let me say that I own every Wallflowers album. Imagine my shock when I open up the reviews and see so many five star ratings. Hey, that is cool, to each their own, but I don't get it. This album seems sappy and desperate to appeal commercially. I hate to use the phrase "sell-out," but I have to. The word cheesy comes to mind on many songs. I actually felt embarassed listening to some. This is nowhere close to Rebel Heart or Breach or BDTH, not even in the same ballpark. I listen to those albums weekly, this one I took to the used record store (where I bought it) and sold it back. Great band, but this album is really bad, in my opinion. Still a great band and if you like it, more power to you.


"I'm sorry too but don't give up on me..."
This album I guess you would say is more poppy, simpler songwriting and arragements but this album is brilliant from start to finish. The Wallflowers Red Letter Days is so good you will be begging for more. This is their best album since Bringing Down the Horse. Jakob Dylan's vocals are smooth, dreamy, and strong as can be on Red Letter Days, this beautiful man can do no wrong. Honestly I have never heard a bad song from this much under-rated band ever! Stanout tracks from Red Letter Days include: How Good It Can Get, Health and Happiness, When You're On Top, Closer To You, Three Ways, See You When I Get There, and Here in Pleasantville. I just about wept when I heard the song Closer To You, this song is so haunting and gorgeous, great piano music and vocals. No one ever talks about The Wallflowers anymore and it's a darn shame because this incredible band is worth talking and hearing, buy this album as soon as possible. Enjoy!.


This is how good it can get.
" But it seems only a minority have been lucky enough (and smart enough) to stick around and be rewarded with such great music. Like most people, I got into the Wallflowers with the song "One Headlight. This is, hands-down, my favorite of all five Wallflowers albums. Don't let the lack of radio play scare you away. The Wallflowers haven't lost a beat since "Bringing Down the Horse. " This is just quality music that you can listen to over and over.

Favorite song: Three Ways.
