Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "An austere acoustic album that could've been titled AMERICAN RECORDINGS....The tone turns revealingly personal on the closing 'Other End Of The Telescope'...", "The unplugged treatment brings Dylan's strengths as a lyricist into sharp relief on his solo debut...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Jakob Dylan goes totally Bob on his Rick Rubin-produced solo debut, which finds the 38-year-old holding forth on love and war and evil's rude health in stripped-down acoustic ditties...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "SEEING THINGS is as simple and spare as the albums Rubin has made with Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond....His best songs, such as 'Will It Grow,' have an easy, downbeat charm.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The gentle detachment that defines Jakob's worldview is his won. Treading his father's path, he's never sounded so comfortably himself."
Additional InformationThe first solo album by singer and songwriter Jakob Dylan is a near total change from the folk-tinged adult alternative pop-rock of his band.
