Volvieron los Wallflowers, siete años han tenido que pasar para que se reúnan y nos dejen escuchar algo nuevo The Wallflowers, la banda de Jakob Dylan, el hijo de Bob Dylan que no quería que el éxito le llegara por ser hijo de quien es, y para ello, en lugar de apellidarse Zimmerman prefirió elegir el apellido artístico de su padre.
Honestidad en juego o no, lo que si es cierto es que, tras cinco álbumes desiguales, la banda de Los Angeles ha decidido que era hora de poner fin a su silencio, y lo harán definitivamente en octubre, con Glad All Over.
Aún no tenemos tracklist, pero ya nos han hecho saber que, en esta reunión, no están todos los miembros originales de la banda, quedando sólo Jakob Dylan como cabeza pensante junto al teclísta Rami Jaffee y al bajista Greg Richling. A ellos se unen el batería Jack Irons, que ha trabajado con los Red Hot Chili Peppers o con Pearl Jam, y el guitarrista Stuart Mathis.
Todo ello, se ha grabado en Nashville, en el estudio Easy Eye Sound, perteneciente a Dan Auerbach, de los Black Keys, y bajo la producción de Jay Joyce. Pero… ¿a qué suena? Pues bien, no hay que esperar hasta octubre para tener un primer contacto con los Wallflowers de 2012, ya que, con ‘Reboot The Mission’ nos ofrecen ese adelanto que todos esperábamos.

"Where you're going has no signs
and you're not going in a straight line
you ought to have me on your mind
I dare you to think otherwise
one day the water, more water
you keep diving and you won't be recovered
you need a clue, I'll come in closer
I want to tell you, you've had it coming
Eyes on the prize, reboot the mission
I've lost the sight, but not the vision
eyes on the prize, reboot the mission
I lost the sight, but not the vision
move your body, look alive
Oh, don't you think of what's out some time
it's even better than you've implied
dice on the table, let it ride
the movie's showing over the building
midnight shifts just beginning
oh let your hair down, I watch you singing
I've got to say, you had it coming
No matter how you use it, which way you swing
even the longest day at some point ends
I'll throw your shoes off, hat in the ring
show me a hookshot, the whole thing
welcome Jack, the new drummer,
He jammed with the mighty Joe Strummer
I see Rami, Greg and Stewart
I've to say, Jay, we've had it coming"
