When I first informed you of Jakob Dylan’s second solo album I did not have a song to share. Now, thanks to spinner’s free download, I have the single “Nothing But the Whole Wide World.” Produced by T. Bone Burnett, this album drops April 6, 2010.
“When he first sat down with a guitar and played me ‘Nothing But the Whole Wide World,’ it was clear that he had taken several steps forward in his songwriting — that he was writing folk music, which is another way of looking at popular music. I’m so happy to be collaborating with Jakob at this exciting and vital time in his life as an artist, and I think this new album is an important work from a great musician.” ~ T. Bone Burnett on Spinner

I think it’s a little insensitive. He’s telling us that his best days are ahead of him but, as he mentioned on his American Idol appearance last night, he was the guy with the crises during his Idol run. He was the guy whose wife just passed away. Shouldn’t some of his best days be with her?
I love the song though. It sounds a little Rascal Flatts. I also love the fact that he decided to go country. As he mentioned last night, Randy Travis told him that the country path was the right direction for him after he heard his performance of Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus Take the Wheel” during the Idol competition.
