Jakob Luke Dylan é vocalista, e principal compositor da banda The Wallflowers além de filho do cantor Bob Dylan com Sara Dylan.
Sua banda atingiu o topo das paradas com o single "One Headlight", em 1996. Outro grande momento na vida de Jakob foi a regravação de "Heroes", de David Bowie, em 1998, para o filme Godzilla.
Em 2006 gravou o single "Here Comes Now", que fez parte da trilha do seriado Six Degrees, e mais recentemente lançou seu primeiro cd solo, intitulado "Seeing Things", que foge um pouco a padrão Pop/Rock que consagrou o Wallflowers, pendendo para canções de formato mais acústico, com presença de violões e arranjos que lembram o estilo folk/country.

“It's hard to admit but it's easy to tell
That evil is alive and well.”
"Evil Is Alive And Well"
Seeing Things (2008)
Contexto: When midnight's done, and the day won't start,
And all I ever gave you was a broken heart,
It's hard to admit but it's easy to tell
That evil is alive and well.

Interview for Columbia Records (2010) http://www.columbia.co.uk/releases/1687/Jakob <br class="br">Contexto: I see myself as a traditionalist … I like traditional things. I like things of substance and value that have been proven. Conceptually, as the songs started to come together, I followed that lead, which is the language I work in.

Is not moving mountains, but
Digging the ground that you're on”
