The Wallflowers - Glad All Over

Glad All Over is the sixth studio album by American alternative rock band The Wallflowers, released in October 2012 by Columbia Records.

After a seven year hiatus The Wallflowers regrouped in 2012 to record Glad All Over, a vivid, colourful album. After stripping his music down to the bone on his solo efforts, Jakob Dylan sounds giddy to flesh out the skeleton with the assistance of a sympathetic band, sometimes augmented by his hero Mick Jones.

With Jones aboard, the Wallflowers wander into Big Audio Dynamite territory - complete with a lyrical shout out to Joe Strummer. "Reboot The Mission" acts as a de facto B.A.D. tribute, while "Misfits And Lovers" splices those clean, modernistic lines with Wallflowers straight-ahead rock & roll. A good indication of just how much ground the group covers on Glad All Over.

As the album rolls on, the Wallflowers dabble with a number of different sounds, unleashing a full-on Motown bounce on "Have Mercy On Him Now", grooving with a gritty electric piano on the opener "Hospital For Sinners", letting the open road stretch out before them on the shimmering "Love Is A Country", and kicking up some dust on "It Won't Be Long (Till We're Not Wrong Anymore)". The Wallflowers  don't abandon their identity as rock & roll classicists, they just now feel the freedom to mess around, and they've come up with one of their loosest, liveliest records that not-so-coincidentally is one of their best. 

Check out the tracks: “Reboot The Mission”; “Misfits And Lovers” and “First One In The Car”.
