The Wallflowers' leader Jakob Dylan managed to escape the shadow of his legendary father the old fashioned way: he earned it. Delivering a decade's worth of solid, no-nonsense rootsy rock & roll without ever getting boring or descending into clichi is no easy task, but the Wallflowers albums have always set a high standard by remaining literate and well-crafted. COLLECTED 1996-2005 lives up to it's name, cherry picking tracks from all four of the designated decade's studio albums, including the Wallflowers' biggest hits "6th Avenue Heartache" and "One Headlight."
