I want to get into Jacob/The Wallflowers, but I don't know where to start. Would you recommend an album for me? I really liked a lyric that went something like "I'm not the same, but I haven't changed".. something like that. I'm probably way off, but yeah lol

Oh wow thanks for making my night, and this isn’t sarcastic at all.

But yeah, the line “Man I ain’t changed, but I know I ain’t the same” is from their most famous song, titled “One Headlight”. So, you’ve already got great taste there. I’d suggest the album Bringing Down the Horse, since that song is on it. It may be tough not just playing that song over and over at first (because it’s the first song) but the whole album is a poetic masterpiece. Actually, you’ll find that many of Jakob/Wallflowers songs are just so beautifully written.

If you dig that album I’d recommend his solo Women+Country. It’s got that sort of feel to it with the steel pedal and all, and again a beautiful album from beginning to end. Those would be great starting points.
