Music Video of the Day
For a while in the late 90s, The Wallflowers were wildly successful. Led by Jakob Dylan, the son of Bob Dylan, the group’s biggest hit, ”One Headlight”, spent an incredible 70 weeks on the Billboard Hot Airplay chart. Two other singles from their second album, ”6th Avenue Heartache” and “The Difference”, also became Top 40 airplay hits, as well as their cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes” for the Godzilla soundtrack.
Unfortunately, they weren’t able to sustain mainstream success, and the lead single from their final studio album (Rebel, Sweetheart) didn’t even chart. It’s a shame, because I think it’s easily their best song, and almost five years later, it’s still one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy “The Beautiful Side of Somewhere” as much as I do.
