There are promising moments on the Wallflowers' eponymous debut album, enough to suggest that the group was capable of the lean, contemporary folk-rock that would make Bringing Down the Horse such a winning record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine The Wallflowers' eponymous debut album is a little too studied and underwritten to make much of an impression, yet there are enough promising moments to suggest that the group was capable of the lean, contemporary folk-rock that made Bringing Down the Horse such a winning record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Rolling Stone (11/26/92, p.74) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...one sweet debut...panoramic, wry, elusive...music that wears well--it's wise beyond its years..." Q (11/92, p.127) - 3 Stars - Good - "...some very fine songs, sounds and sentiments...excellent, epic laments..." Melody Maker (10/10/92, p.36) - "...articulate, realistic, passionate American music....These songs mean something. The Wallflowers are for real..."

Growing up in the shadow of Bob Dylan would be too much for many, let alone trying to make it in the same field as the legendary troubadour. But Bob's son Jakob Dylan succeeded on his own terms when his band the Wallflowers hit it big with their own brand of roots rock in the 1990s and 2000s. Not ashamed of their admiration for Bob, Neil Young, or the Band, the Wallflowers became one of the genre's biggest acts by the turn of the century.
