Jakob Dylan - Valley of the low sun

[kathylinn77]

Sunday cocktail song on a Wednesday afternoon...

[misstoiletweasel]

Love this whole album, and Jakob, my teenage heart-throb 15 years ago :) It's been fantastic growing up with his music.

[telegrams1]

my god, amazing song

[21madmethod]

What a great song.

[MirroredDiary]

If you love Jacob Dylan, YOU MAY REALLY LIKE US.

We're an Americana band from Arlington, VIRGINIA.

[heartachers]

So beautiful im speechless

[jonmorr777]

@heartachers this is the best song i've heard in years!!!

[HiggJo12]

When I first heard of Jakob Dylan, as a musician, I expected to hear a Bobby voice. I was so shocked with hearing this. I love it! Long live Dylan! Both Bobby and Jakob.

[Jumbofreddy]

A great song is the meeting between, a strong text, an exciting music and an moving voice! Perhaps the text is superb, but the music is poor, and the voice is not very particular! i am sorry, but even so, i made an effort to love him! But so much the better if many people are enthusiastic! he has the merit and the courage to sing, after his father,!

[dparsons4]

this song is amazing :)

[AnthonyUseryJr]

so great!

[DuneDingDong]

Dire que s'il n'était pas le fils de Bob Dylan, il serait une star mondiale... j'en suis sûre :) Son père lui fait peut être de l'ombre, mais c'est aussi lui qui lui a frayé un passage sur le chemin de la musique...

Peu importe qui est son père, cette chanson reste fabuleuse!

[shanb314]

i luv this song!

[strummer77clash]

This is my Sunday cocktail album. I put the RECORD on and sit in the morning sun with a light drink. No other album has earned that respect and I have a lot of music. I can't wait to hear him grow with his music. He's Bob's kid, but he is Jakob Dylan, musician of his own making.

[kennyg03]

he's a Dylan, he's born with the musical talent

[FolkMusicWins]

he is very unique... if i was going to compare him to anyone it would be bruce springsteen or david bowie, but not his father... i like it!

[kristlkrost]

@FolkMusicWins He reminds me of Chris Rea!!! But he reminds me of greatness.

[gypsyrain13]

He's as amazing as his Father!

[jammy78]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[zeryic]

amazing amazing beautiful song. jakob' s like his dad now as he goes solo, so raw and talented!!!

[MikeNC2371]

A very excellent performer irregardless of heritage!!!

[111jenna111]

i want to play this on my guitar but i cant find the tabs online. anyone help me out?

[punke217]

Well you never really have to do the the EXACT tabs, almost all of the Dylan's songs are combos of the G, C, and D chords. Just mic it up along with the tune and kinda come of with them yerself.

[jj3205]

This song is so peaceful

[Rj1439]

Hes not very original

[digsy1983]

@Rj1439 . gona be hard to be origional when ya dad is bob dylan!! always gona be carrying a dead weight. n wot is gud about bein origional when he does being unorigional so well.

[WhiskeyyWoman]

Woah!

I was so surprised to hear this deep voice. I was expecting something totally different.

[MITCHWILD]

Oh.....this guy's very good at what he does.

[1951tank]

Jakob is his own man and rightly so but you sure as hell can see the influence of Dylan Snr. in this song whether one likes it or not. I absolutely love it!

[MotherPeace420]

God this is so good! Its good to see theres at least somebody out there makin music the way it should be :) i got to see the Wallflowers a few years ago. it was great

[1951tank]

How good is this? Superb i'd say!

[Singing4Guitar]

the best song ever

wanna to paly and sing like him

my vids might help a little

peace

chris

[lauraciara]

In response to KoRnelius, Jakob and Bob have actually only sung together one time as of 2008. Would be interesting to see more duets, but Jakob seems like the type that doesn't associate his music career with his father's.

[ohiodixiechick2]

@lauraciara I read they sang together at a private function & as you said, one time. Has it ever been leaked what songs they sang? I can picture them singing together yet I can't think of what they would sing!

[Eirelav111]

This song makes me cry every time I listen to it! I told that to Jakob Dylan when I met him and he was so nice.

[demi32421]

Is Jakob touring the UK ? Would quite like to see him live

[maia74mia]

so beautiful !

[walkingcontraditon]

GREAT WAR SONG!

[Jobnet92]

i am searching the chords of this song

can someone help me please??????

[GreenNight209]

You won't find the chords... I've looked everywhere. But I started from a Bob Dylan routine... the song is obviously in the key of eye, but the root structure is a C... Try capo-ing the fourth fret and starting from a C chord... it goes to an Amin, then to a G and F... that should be a good enough start...

[martsteele]

Capo on the fourth fret and play a variation of the typical C Am G F etc chords progression. The song is in the key of E.

[mrarmstrong]

hey thanks!

[KoRnelius]

Have bob and jakob ever done a duet? Nice song:)

[NeonlightRebel]

I like this song (great lyrics), I like Jakob Dylan but anyway, I prefer his father's music and voice... Jakob Dylan is one of the best musicians, but Bob is MORE THAN A MUSICIAN!

[OffTheRecord2008]

very true. No one can take anything away from Bob, who was possibly the greatest singer/songwriter who ever lived in the twentieth century. But you're right this song IS beautiful. I try to listen to it once a day to chill myself out! Godbless who ever posted this song!

[rtupin1956]

What beautiful poetry

[Made0in0Belgium]

anyone know the chords?

[Broadybabe]

I was a huge fan of Jakob way before discovering he was Bobs son..... I reckon he is famous in his own rights. I agree with with Johnnysmoker314 - he is the most unrecognized genius of our time (followed closely by James Morrison) :)

[ShotgunBlues92]

James Morrison's pretty recognised :). Jakob Dylan should be tho :( this song is awesome.

[brentrockt]

amen!

[draoicht22]

i cant say i agree with either oh the 2 previous remarks but would say being dylans son is a cross he'll have to bear. if he has his fathers blood he'll do it

[johnnysmoker314]

i have seen two concerts in five years, jakob dylan both times. the man is the most unrecognized genius of our time. he got screwed big time because of his lineage.

[willwkrueger]

wtf? screwed because of his lineage? you wouldn't of ever heard of this man were he not his father's son. and that is still the greatest compliment hes got going for himself.

[johnnysmoker314]

i agree it made it way easier for him to be noticed. even jakob said that journalists from rolling stone weren't showing up at his friends gigs when he was playing clubs. I guess i meant it seems like no matter what he does, when he is being interviewed, he always gets the "is it true your dad likes waffles?" question thrown in, even if he has just won song of the year, or sold six millions albums or whatever.

[RedceLL1978]

Wallflower's1996 album Bringing Down the Horse sold over six million copies worldwide, three times as many as his father's album Blood on the Tracks sold in over 20 years. (Source - Wikepedia)

The thing is... That was their sophmore album. The debut tanked. So i'd say that even being Bob's son didn't attribute to his success. I'm sure it was a resourceful way to get off his feet, but if the music is sub-par, the albums don't sell. John Lennon's son (Sean) is a good example.

[petedylancash912]

um excuse me but sean lennon's music is far from sub par...

[RedceLL1978]

That's a matter of opinion, friend. I wouldn't say he's horrible, the guy writes some pretty prolific songs, but we're not exactly jumping out of our chairs for the next Sean Lennon record, are we...

So rather than acuse him of selling X amount of albums as a result of being the son of a legendary songwriter. we attribute his success to the demand for his music. which is directly influenced by content. That's not to say album sales are any indication of good music. Avril Lavigne for example..

[lamusevenale]

ahaha.. good one..

[cometothesunshine]

Just wonderful!

[Eirelav111]

This song brings tears to my eyes.

[rbyronrob]

Not only just a picture but doesnt even get titke of song right

[rudebox87]

Weltklasse!!! Der Sohn des "Großmeisters" ist echt klasse!!!

[Vermontist]

He kind of sounds like Warren Zevon on this cut.

[diffdrum1]

I think his voice is more reminiscent of Elvis Costello.

[scottay69]

great lyrics, still amazed JD had the balls to go into music being the "son of Bob", his first album with The Wallflowers is a classic - get it.

[cometothesunshine]

Got it! Classic LP is right!

[thetruerock]

@scottay69 Just curious why you would say Jakob had the balls to go into music because he is Bod Dylans son? Not trying to be negative on your comment. I am just curious....

[scottay69]

@thetruerock just that he would continually get the comparisons, never be as good as his Dad, knowing that even if you write a good song it most likely wouldn't measure up to most of your Dad's songs.

[scottay69]

@thetruerock to be the son of the most prolific songwriter in history of modern music, i guess you wouldn't think he would go into music and follow his Dad into a very similar genre. Glad he did.

[viperbjd]

@scottay69 I completely agree...although I think you mean the Wallflowers second album, Bringing Down the Horse. The first album, The Wallflowers, very few people even know exists, but that is also a great album and everyone should atleast listen to it once.

[scottay69]

@viperbjd i actually was referring to their first album, i think it is brilliant and much more honest than the 2nd album.

[uygabel]

Great song!!! great great!

BOOM BOOM THUNDER

[heyitskellyanne]

the first cd is over twenty years old. It is great! It is a miracle mine will still play. Love from a major fan! Cyndi

[Cliffy4479]

I made A video with this song and the movie Ned Kelly, I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for your comment.....;-))

[tanuvsky]

i LOOOVE this song:)

[andreaskuhn]

cd des jahres 2008, keine frage.

[Lukiss18]

also für mich auf jedenfall^^

[Cliffy4479]

finde ich auch sollte nur mal ein schönes video dazu gehören, will mal sehen was da zu machen ist.......

[Cliffy4479]

This is my favorit song from him......I love it!

[callumkendrick]

excellent song but bob dylan i think is still alot better. just my oppinion

[guitarizer92]

he's a bit older so has more experience - but i agree with you

[OffTheRecord2008]

Yeah, I gotta say Bob had a much stronger impact on music, and it seems Bob just gets better with age. But Jacob is cool, too. I enjoy a good Jacob tune every now and again.

[leqesai]

You have to understand that, with Bob Dylan, it was much more than JUST the music. He was iconic for a number of reasons that reflected on his music career. Jakob has very little mainstream exposure outside of the music. To be honest, I think Jakob has equal songwriting ability to his father but the genre is different. It's hard to compare the two, musically, outside of their family connection.

[littleoldman987]

this might seem too bold, but i honestly like jakob dylan better than bob dylan.

[EricaNicolex]

This song sends shivers down my spine. I love it so. Thanks for posting it. =]

[gprengel]

How beautiful! I know only Bruce Springsteen in nowadays times, who can move me so deeply with such plain means! Thank you!

[nicehat42]

wow. the first part sounds so sincere and then the end seems so hateful, I don't think i am hearing it wrong.

What a change I did so love the other cd's But this one i got a different feel, hurtful, but that's just me..

Never the less I am sure he will sell lots of the cd,

[nicehat42]

As to what he wrote in the last verse. u have no idea, what it is like to have lost so much, and to trust noone again.

[Lukiss18]

what is your problem ?

[EraldCoilvideos]

Most significant song I've heard in a long, long time. I hope everyone listens very carefully.

Thank you for posting this - only post of the song I see on youtube so far - nevermind the lack of video, it's about the SONG nicehat42...

[nicehat42]

You call that a video, I think it is just a picture. Dumbass

[Lukiss18]

you are sooooo cool^^

[Cliffy4479]

lol, you can c this song with a video when you want, I just made ones with the movie "Ned Kelly" please show it and comment, thanks!

[OffTheRecord2008]

No offense, but when you have a song and no video, as I do on my channel, then it's nice to have a really good picture to accompany the music. It's more about the music than anything. I understand where you're coming from, though. It's kind of boring, but still it's no reason to call people names. I've got the same deal with my own original songs on youtube, only with mine it's the cover of our album.

[nicehat42]

I hope that house burns with you in it

[Lukiss18]

there´s no house in this video^^ dumbass^^
