Reviews Customer Reviews for Bringing Down The Horse      Still a timeless, classic collection of music      Rating:      Jakob Dylan is not famous because he is Bob's son. Jakob is famous because this album was a milestone in the music world. I purchased Bringing Down The Horse after the oft-overlooked first single, "The Difference" was released. Safe to say, I was one of the first people to own this album. I devoured it, even in my young age of 11. This album was stolen from me around 8 years ago, and I picked up a used copy in a Hastings on a road trip. Even now, this entire album remains one of the main discs in rotation for me. I found that, with each song, I still remembered the words and, all of a sudden, I was 14 again (the year my copy got stolen, it was an album I got all my friends into around that time as well) and bouncing around my room to the poppy tracks, weeping with the sad songs and contemplating with the intensity that I used to analyze these songs with. The album opens with "One Headlight," one of the more popular singles off of this album, and ends with "I Wish I Felt Nothing," an intense builder that opens into lush auditory landscapes that really paints a picture. In between the bookends is the REALLY good stuff. Key tracks on this album include the popular-but-still-wonderful-after-all of these-years "Sixth Avenue Heartache," which is a beautiful duet with Adam Duritz on background vox; the slide guitar is amazing in this song; "Bleeders," an upbeat tune with great guitar sound and finally, my favorite: "Three Marlenas," which, yes, was a single, but still an amazing idea and musically flawless. Dylan's vocals are shaky, not unlike his father, but it only adds character as a key instrument in The Wallflowers. His lyricism more than balances it with just the right mixture of metaphorical and literal meaning. Sadly, however, this is the first and last great effort from the boys known as the Wallflowers. Five stars, still wonderful to this day. I will forever be in love with Bringing Down The Horse.     Customer Reviews for Bringing Down The Horse Cd      One Headlight isn't the only great song on this album!      Rating:      I loved this album. With Used to Be Lucky on this import, it is a must have for any Wallflowers fan who already owns Bringing Down the Horse. I enjoyed the acoustic tracks on this also.
