Is it Jon Brion that played the guitar solo on this track?

Didn't know that Dylan's boy was in the Wallflowers.  

 

Nice.  Rambling electric country.

My recent purchase of one their albums (not this one, but also RP-inspired) has greatly increased my appreciation.

Takes me back to when I was in a band...drummer wrote a parody, "6th Avenue Hardee's"

Safe to say he's better looking than his dad (but then so are most barnyard animals).

Now I know why I don't like this one as much as other Wallflowers tunes. That guy's voice will spoil anything, in my humble and bitter opinion.

Whether the apple falls from the tree or not has never been debated.  It's the distance from the tree that said apple winds up that has inspired the saying you are attempting to paraphrase...

And Bob Seger, Springsteen, and a little bit of George Harrison's slide guitar tone thrown in for good measure. Gives you an idea of what they were listening to while they were growing up.


 
Maybe you are supposed to.  It's about those that went before you... in particular perhaps, not always the famous ones, but he's crossing his fingers on a star....

LIke it a lot.
