delicatessen in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles in 1989. The band signed to Virgin Records
and made a self-titled album, the cover of which had a picture of all the band members' feet, and drummer Peter Yanowitz's dog.
The debut sold poorly, however, and after they were released from Virgin Records
, the band regrouped. They toured with 10,000 Maniacs
, Toad The Wet Sprocket
, Cracker
, and The Spin Doctors, and gained and lost several band members along the way. With the help of their manager Andrew Slater, the band secured a new major label record deal with Interscope Records
.
Their 1996 album Bringing Down the Horse
, recorded with producer T-Bone Burnett
(and including collaborations with Michael Penn
, Adam Duritz
, Mike Campbell, Don Heffington of Lone Justice
, and Sam Phillips
), yielded several singles, including "6th Avenue Heartache
" and "One Headlight
". The album sold over six million copies worldwide. Burnett stated at the time: "As far as Jakob is concerned, I can't imagine having larger footsteps to follow in. But Jakob's character is clearly defined and he handles success with grace, which also says a lot about Bob as a father." Burnett went on to state that the success of Bringing Down the Horse had nothing to do with the family name: "I don't think Jakob sold a single record because he is Bob's son. I think he sold a lot of records because "One Headlight" is a very good song. I wonder how many Wallflowers fans even know who Bob Dylan is." The Wallflowers won two Grammy Awards, for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group and Best Rock Song. "One Headlight" also won the VH-1 Video of the Year for 1997.
As of 2007, The Wallflowers have recorded five albums.
