.: ONE HEADLIGHT :. JA.MARTINEZ Date Submitted:  2012-04-02 [Archive Date: 2012-07-01] Genre:  Alternative Rock Original Artist:  THE WALLFLOWERS Additional Info:  Disc Mfg:    Disc #:   Description:  Released as a single, in '97, "One Headlight" is taken from American rock group The Wallflowers' '96 album, entitled, "Bringing Down The Horse". This fan favorite quickly reached the #1 slot on separate Mainstream Rock Tracks and Modern Rock Tracks charts. Written and performed by the group's lead singer, Jakob Dylan, the song won two Grammys in '98 and was, also, named "Best Video" for '96, in VH1's annual poll (FYI: Jakob is Bob Dylan's youngest son). "One Headlight" relates the unfortunate tale of a female friend's death but does not disclose the reason. The listener never learns if it was due to suicide, drug overdose or depression or even what type of relationship the two once had. Dylan has stated that the song is not about anyone, specifically, but was written as more of a metaphor on the " . . . death of ideas . . . and shouldn't be taken literally" (sounds like father, like son, if you KWIM - LOL). The Wallflowers recorded five albums through '05 and made their latest public appearance, as a group, in '07. In '06, the multi-talented J.D. announced that he signed a new recording contract with Columbia Records. He subsequently released his first solo effort in June '08 with the album, "Seeing Things". This new recording is a re-do (i.e., dynamic-mic to condenser-mic conversion). This backing was created using MTU's Vogone VR software product. The BG vocals are comprised of multiple tracks, which I've added into the mix with some extra work. I hope you like my take on this cool rocker by the very talented Jakob Dylan. Thanks to those of you who are able to drop-in for a listen (due to SS restrictions, song file's been reduced to 80Kbps). TC. John.
