Jakob Dylan: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[Fingerbang225]

so this video just prompted a quick wikipedia search... Holy shit how did I not know Bob Dylan's son was the lead singer of the wallflowers... not that I'm a big fan or anything but still

[harmony430]

Everybody's Hurtin', that's for Certain. What lies beyond the Curtain? We are always Flirttin' with the Uncertain.

[MsGueenb]

Wow!!!! Likewise som354 but one thing is for sure I could never grow away from Bob. I'd recommend you watch his recent gigs for he is still master of his craft. Certainly brings a smile to my face. Jacob surely makes a beautiful sound tho :) loving this!

[som364]

i listened to bob dylan for a long time..but then suddenly kinda grew out of it...but i listen to jacob over and over..same song..playing over and over again...probably would never get tired of it..just beautiful

[glennkindrachuk]

thanks robert zimmerman...thanks jacob.

for sure, without a doubt, the world is a better place account of this family.

totally, absolutely, unequivocally, love this clip....so good. so very very good!

[APBL7]

Good stuff, can sing much better than his old man...probably never out-write him though.

[shuckslbj]

Ok, on backups we got Neko Case and who else?

[rikanechimo]

@shuckslbj I'm not sure of her name, but she's always doing the backups with Neko Case ...

[penisfuckeye]

0:12 guy in the blue shirt pulls out his cell phone, I hope he was turning it off and not texting.

[tehroflzcrisp]

Loving the accompanying singers, gives me goosebumps with the perfect harmonies.

[wbrice83186]

She's shaking the egg on the offbeat and it's making me insane

[ikazy13]

Glad to see jakob and neko team up, awesome harmonies

[jackblacksutube]

i wonder if he made a deal like his dad

[howdygoodsir]

@jackblacksutube dude, shut up.

[jackblacksutube]

@howdygoodsir dude ur balls are showing

[sondrasneed]

The second coming. 

[JewBoy6636]

It's not right that I didn't know he is Bob Dylan's son.

[irishblend13]

simply brilliant, jakob dylan youve officially once again saved the music industry!!!

[IARE1031]

music isn't music. britney spears isn't robert johnson. wake up you fuckin faggot.

[26redshoes]

He stopped working on Maggie's farm and became like a rolling stone.

[IARE1031]

dude, shut up. you probably don't have a soul if you think this is good music. dumbass.

[intheekeyofcrime]

@IARE1031 ignorance, be gone! music is music. why don't you bottle your negativity up and keep it for yourself.

[jackblacksutube]

@intheekeyofcrime music made for hits and popularity isnt music. or should i say art

[garycamera]

I give this a big fat HELL YEA Man.

[aross122]

I wonder what this guys dad is like?

[TheBarbaciano]

To be the son of a living legend must be hard. Sorry Jake

[peterdonki]

At least he doesn't use the same glasses as his father.

[MirroredDiary]

If you love Jacob Dylan, YOU MAY REALLY LIKE US. We're an Americana band from Arlington, VA: Lonely And The Socialites

[javier7285]

Is he blind?

[chaosofscotty]

@javier7285 yes! Only to other blind people though.

[IARE1031]

just cus he's bob dylans son? who the fuck cares, he sucks!

[chaosofscotty]

@IARE1031 The trees are screaming again. What is in the future light of our souls, if I had one of course. Oh yeah, by the way this is just mumblings. The same as yours of course.

[kest1969]

Sweet, Super Sweet!

[porkadachop]

I was ready to hate this thanks to The Wallflowers, but I have to reconsider.

[IIIMPULSE]

this sure as hell beats the wallflowers, that's for sure

[tinpantry]

holy spitting image of young bob.

[Rossonero072213]

@tinpantry

Hell yeah, if you see any of his interviews there are flashes of some of Bob's mannerisms, too.

[billder999]

How does anyone at NPR ever get any work done? After one of these, any sane individual needs to go outside for a tasty spleef break. The what? Bob Boilen is an amazing guy, finding all of these incredible artists. Thanks Bob!

[qqssaa]

i dont like his sunglasses ! but i like his music :)

[weepingguitar23]

Jakob paints these gorgeous landscapes with his lyrics....I mean, Bob's cool and iconic, but I really really like Jakob's music better! Just being honest! :)

[Slavuernes]

Magic!

[mottodan]

what a great show NPR can some times get right to heart

[IATVlover]

Damn these lyrics are great. The harmonizing is beautiful. Jakob Dylan is far more than your average bear.

[twistajones53]

best 3 songs i have heard in a long time.

[AnJ09WIT3]

WOW! Made my Sunday morning.....

Sotera

[JayBGeorge]

not bad boys and girls JB

[jrgunnedah]

what a treat, this is the first time I heard Jakob.... you have made my day .Hope to see you on a tour Vancouver BC

[richmonksgtr]

I'm glad that Jakob had the uncommonly good sense to use the two best harmonizers alive today. I just wish that he had used them more. If anyone doubts Neko and Kelly's harmonious divinity, you need to listen to Neko's "Porchlight", from Furnace Room Lullaby. Your sinful doubts will be dissolved.

[GHKlingman]

Wow, it doesn't get much better than this. Wish they did a few of Neko's songs though =P

[1stayingfreeify]

amazing man he is i know i miss my true blood brother Dylan James Legere Janeway M N D all much love for all

[1stayingfreeify]

amazing man he is i know i miss my true blood brother Dylan James Legere Janeway M N D

[cdainmiller]

Man, his dad. Good lord. Those are some insane genes to have. Seriously when I see Jacob what I feel like I am looking at (or yearnning to look at) is a 20 something year old Bob. Man what i would give to see that.

[MikeNC2371]

yes, he is still an under appreciated artist! His music is timeless and I suppose he just has good genes for that (the only implication I have ever made about his father)!.. I have been a major fan for twenty years.  Through all the different paths he has taken I have been an adoring fan!!! He is major man-festival to look upon. I am Cyndi

[BeauregardPictures]

I read an interview with Neko Case once where she said she turned down an offer from Playboy. She's been living a rough life since it appears.

[RaoulDuke504]

@BeauregardPictures She looks like a lady wearing no makeup who's turning 40 this September, and for the record, still looks damn good.

[sealsgivebirth]

@BeauregardPictures Your taking a stab at Neko Case for not selling out like most famous women(with no talent) do? Man, you obviously have no idea of her true grandeur. She has more talent in one string of her fiery red hair then any other women in music these days. Bless her for not smearing her career with a pathetic act like that, becoming a wank for D-bags- every last man jack of em.

[MickeyMacaroney]

@BeauregardPictures neko actually looks fine, jakob just fucked the shit outta her right before they came in

[luke26126]

stoned

[leparditas]

sun glass:D

[BascomLunsford]

sounds so much like Jakob Dylan!!

[sk8er4ever0101]

ive watched this far too many times. im @ exactly 40k

[mandycat96]

impressed

[joshcfriesen]

where's the harmonica!

[ilovemutemath]

dang, is that neko?

[CalebDeike]

@ilovemutemath righto

[Swiftlygothedays]

An excellent musician and singer. I enjoy this so much.

[Squibfire]

its cool how Jakob Dylan can actually cut it himself as a musician and he doesnt have to rely on his dad for record sales, obviously being the son of one of the greatest musicians ever will help u get a little notoriety, but unlike a lot of celebrity offspring, hes actually a very talented singer songwriter

[testing88534]

Awesome, the Bob Dylan dynasty continues. I'm buying this album asap. He really sounds like Bob Dylan to some extent.

[LouieSeafur]

Bob should be a very proud man...

[ilovemutemath]

@LouieSeafur Jakob should be proud to be Bob's son. Like, seriously.

[journeyer58]

Definitely the BOMB! Great harmony and music style!

[capitolofnebraska]

I nutted when I saw his guitar. Soooooooooo gorgeous.

[kittywoman5309]

Jus' Like his Pa...!!!!

[Crimsonphilosophy]

well his voice is def better than his dad's

[21CenBreakdown]

His Dad must be proud.

[MrRofeliak]

Wow, great video guys. What a mini-concert that must have been. Almost makes me want to listen to NPR again. Well, let's not get crazy... :-)

[cybervisionx]

Absolutely awesome. Holy Rollers for Love is the best.

[coffeescup]

Absolutely gorgeous. Lifted my heart. Nothing by the Whole Wide World for us.

[TheSwedishzoe]

I love the "la la la la la la la"...it's in my range!

[jstanley011]

Dig it. Tiny Desk Concerts RULE.

[crazy4veggies]

Tiny Desk concert is really neat!! I love Jakob and the new album is AMAZING! His music is so original and refreshing!!

[courbett]

Bob Dylan towarzyszy mi przez całe 25 lat , z wielką przyjemnością słucham teraz jego syna .

[IDLakota]

I love it!!! Can't wait to get the albumn.

[milwkid9090]

God it would be great to be there in a small venue to hear this.

[Radient001]

@milwkid9090

I was lucky enough to see the Wallflowers at a local venue. Small theater with excellent acoustics. It was amazing. I would love to catch Jakob as well. 

[jesdebest]

just beautiful

[theBlackfamilyoffour]

I love this album!

[lucasboden]

Neko is way too talented to sing such lackluster songs.

[sk8er4ever0101]

@lucasboden amazing, she doesn't seem to think so.

[moher1999]

What great news!! didn't know a new album had been released, sounds really good!!!! Just discovered as well bout Tiny Desk Concerts, what a fantastic thing to do!!!

Will surely look for the CD here in Barcelona, hope to find it!!!

[shankz0r9]

great harmonies on holy rollers for love

[theBlackfamilyoffour]

@shankz0r9 Agreed; that one is my daughter's favorite.

[trevorc4113]

neko is singing with him!!

[briano1983]

glad he's back.

[billymisfits]

he looks so much like his dad

[Jakoebbi]

@billymisfits Oh yes!

[Crimsonphilosophy]

@billymisfits lets hope his face doesn't melt like his dad's

[slmUSA]

@billymisfits Jakob has a unique sound....and he's much better looking than Bob. Sorry, my opinion. :-D

[AernoutMJC]

@billymisfits

But this Dylan can sing :)

(No, I have no problem with BD at all, even own some of his records, but be honest, JD's voice is a whole lot sweeter than his Dad's.)

[luvmedogjosie]

@AernoutMJC He might be able to sing in tune, but he does'nt sound much different to a whole lot of other vocalists. He will have to do something extraordinary to get anywhere near his Dad's capabilities Re. songwriting, appeal, and worldwide acclaim. Must be hard to follow in those kind of footsteps eh?

[AernoutMJC]

@luvmedogjosie You got my point exactly.

[Timberbanktunes]

Nice tunes Dylan, whose vinyl is behind you?

[TheVulcansMusic]

good stuff, haven't listened to him in over 10 years. love the two ladies voices as well

[SeadartVSG]

Never cared for the wallflowers but this is good stuff. Would like to hear more of his Gretsch Falcon too, nice guitar.

[kraigus]

Hello James Franco look-alike!

[balanceseeker]

Awesome video, NPRmusic.

You should do more of the same.

[babaluboo123]

Hey NPR, I really like it when you include personal comments like on this post.
