WikiPedia] 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 by Dylan and guitarist Tobi Miller. It has undergone several personnel changes but has remained centered on Dylan.
The band signed with Virgin Records to release their debut studio album (1992), which despite critical praise, failed to chart and was their only release with the label. After the success of their 1996 single "6th Avenue Heartache," the band signed with Interscope Records to release their second album, Bringing Down the Horse (1996), which spawned their signature song, "One Headlight." Their third album, (Breach) (2000), yielded the single "Sleepwalker," which became their only song to enter the Billboard Hot 100 (previous singles their popularity notwithstanding, did not chart due to Billboard rules at the time). The group released two more albums—Red Letter Days (2002) and Rebel, Sweetheart (2005)—before going on hiatus. Their sixth and seventh albums, Glad All Over (2012) and Exit Wounds (2021) were met with continued praise. Lyrically, the band focuses on Dylan's introspection, exploring themes of nostalgia, heartache, purpose and insecurities.
The Wallflowers have sold over 10 million albums internationally. They have won two Grammy Awards—Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Rock Song for "One Headlight"—from six nominations. The song was included on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Pop Songs. Billboard named "One Headlight" as the Greatest of All Time Adult Alternative Song, while "6th Avenue Heartache" ranked at No. 37 on the list. Of the band's songs, 15 have peaked in the top 10 of Billboard's Adult Alternative Airplay chart. Band members of the Wallflowers have been shared with other bands including Foo Fighters, Ozomatli, and Gogol Bordello; two former members have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
