Jakob Dylan on working with T Bone Burnett

On Aug. 16 The Recording Academy headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., was the lucky beneficiary of a visit by singer/songwriter Jakob Dylan, who just a few months before, on the eve of the release of his second solo album, Women + Country, stopped by the GRAMMY Museum for a chat. Dylan participated in an installment of 5 Questions With..., answering questions on what it was like to win a GRAMMY, his musical influences, songwriting, and collaborating with producer T Bone Burnett. He also played a few songs from the album, including "Nothing But The Whole Wide World" and "Everybody's Hurting."

Women + Country was produced by Burnett, who also produced the breakthrough Bringing Down The Horse album by Dylan's former band the Wallflowers. That album resulted in two GRAMMY Awards, for Best Rock Song and Best Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals for the hit "One Headlight."

"For my line of work, it's the highest compliment you can get, without a doubt," Dylan says.
