Bob Dylan requires little explanation. As a musician and songwriter, he's been one of the most important contributors to American folk music throughout history, from the blues to protest music. His son Jakob Dylan fronts the pop-rock band the Wallflowers. Though Jakob looks an awful lot like a young Bob Dylan, his music is a bit of a departure from what his father was doing at his age. Nonetheless, the similarities are there, and it's no surprise that an artist the calliber of Bob Dylan produced a rock singer for a son.
