The Wallflowers with Bob Dylan's son Jakob at the helm continue to release strong albums featuring finely-crafted songs with thoughtful lyrics.

Red Letter Days has several highlights the catchy and hook-driven How Good It Can Get would make a superb single, while Everybody Out Of The Water is a driving rock song with some heavy riffs.

Three Ways and the melodic ballad Closer To You are more gentle fare and help to make Red Letter Days a well-rounded set.

The Wallflowers don't sell millions of records in the UK but they make good music and their albums are well worth seeking out.
