Jakob Dylan on tour

Erstwhile Wallflower Jakob Dylan has announced dates for a summer-long North American tour, featuring a series of runs built around summer festivals. His new album, Seeing Things, came out Tuesday. What I've heard of it so far (and you can listen for yourself here) takes the concept of solo album to its logical conclusion, with very little instrumentation other than Dylan and his guitar. No idea how Dylan's band, the Gold Mountain Rebels, will factor in to these shows: will he perform the solo stuff by himself and the Wallflowers hits with the band? Will he play Wallflowers songs at all?

I've actually heard the first single off this album, "Something Good This Way Comes," a fair amount on the radio, and I like it. The whole album is very sweet and soft, with a lullaby-like quality. You can hear it for yourself on Letterman tonight and Leno July 15. He'll also be on Austin City Limits sometime later in the summer or fall, as well as the NPR program Mountain Stage.
