Jakob Dylan's songwriting benefits from his time out of the limelight after the Wallflowers went quadruple-platinum with 1996's Bringing Down the Horse, Jakob Dylan evidently decided to focus on growing as a songwriter rather than as a celebrity. Rebel, Sweetheart is proof that this was a smart move. He's still developing new moves after many of his contemporaries have faded. Dylan sings these adult tales of disillusionment and perseverance with the gritty timbre of a young Warren Zevon, juiced by his fellow Wallflowers -- keyboardist Rami Jaffee, bassist Greg Richling and ace new drummer Fred Eltringham. "Rebel" in the title is a verb, not a noun, and even the love songs are full of conflict. The pick is "Here He Comes (Confessions of a Drunken Marionette)," a boozy saloon ballad based on a question: "Who will ignore me when you're gone?"
