Review

Rolling Stone (11/28/02, p.92) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...The album overflows with catchy melodies, propelled by Dylan's urgent vocals....It adds up to a straightforward barnburner of an album..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/8/02, p.106) - "...Pure, sunny pop....Cheery..." - Rating: B+
Mojo (Publisher) (3/03, p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Dylan and company make some damn fine music....It seems that they have finally loosened up enough to enjoy themselves and make music they want to hear..."

Title Note

Contains the hidden track "Empire Of My Mind" which occurs after "Here In Pleasantville."

The Wallflowers: Jakob Dylan (vocals, guitar); Romi Jaffe (keyboards, vibraphone); Greg Richling (Mini Moog synthesizer, bass); Mario Calire (drums, background vocals).

Additional personnel: Mike McCready, Val McCallum, Rusty Anderson (guitar); Ben Peeler (lapsteel); David Campbell (strings); Lenny Castro (percussion); Bill Appleberry (programming); Mo Z M.D., Courtney Kaiser (background vocals).

Recorded at Groovemasters, Sound City, and Record One, Los Angeles, California.

On the surface, RED LETTER DAYS bears some sonic similarities to the previous couple of Wallflowers albums (rich, Byrdsy guitar tones, Tom Petty-ish roots-rock production, and of course Jakob Dylan's husky, engaging vocals). Closer listening, however, reveals a number of advances. For one thing, Dylan's lyrics are sharper than ever, especially on the darkly poetic verses of "When You're on Top," which nicely counterbalance an almost too-catchy chorus that smacks of chart envy. Similarly, "Three Ways" and "If You Never Got Sick" achieve a moody poignancy that's simultaneously visceral and evocative (no mean feat). There are new sonic developments as well; Rami Jaffee's keyboard arsenal sounds somewhat expanded beyond his trademark B-3 organ, and is utilized accordingly, to give many of the songs a more modern edge than the band has evinced in the past. One small step for man...well, you know the rest.
