“With its roots-flecked focus and universal themes, Jakob Dylan’s recent Women + Country houses a certain familiarity, and that feeling was enhanced by his Three Legs band at the comfortably full Park West on Monday,” Althea Legaspi writes in the Tribune.
“Harmonies from Neko Case and Kelly Hogan honeyed Dylan’s vocal leads during the show as they did on record. And it was Case’s own band, some of who have released records with their own respective bands on Chicago’s Bloodshot Records, who backed Dylan onstage. Windy City associations aside, it was the shared experience of hard times and waning love sentiment that further connected Dylan’s rural soundscape to this urban setting.”
