The Wallflowers join host Stephen Kallao

It’s a comeback year for The Wallflowers. Not only are they putting out Exit Wounds, their first album in nearly a decade, but the band is also celebrating the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough album, Bringing Down The Horse. Coming up on the World Cafe, frontman Jakob Dylan joins host Stephen Kallao to talk about songwriting and the trouble he has feeling “finished” with a record. Plus, The Wallflowers perform some of the new songs, and one old hit, live.
