Jakob Dylan's New Record Gets a Warm Reception

Check out the 8/10 score Jakob Dylan’s new album “Seeing Things” got in a recent PopMatters review.

[Producer Rick] Rubin, who has found his niche in the last decade-and-change reinventing the sounds of such legendary music icons as Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Donavan and Neil Diamond, takes the same approach he took on Cash’s American Recordings series with Seeing Things, bringing Dylan’s voice up front with very minimal musical accompaniment so as to keep the lyrics the main focal point. And lyrically, this is clearly Jakob’s strongest material to date.
