Jakob Dylan to release 2nd solo album

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Jakob Dylan's second solo album, "Women and Country," is to be released in April in the United States, Columbia Records said Thursday.

The CD, due out April 6, is the follow-up to the artist's 2008 debut, "Seeing Things."

For this new collection, Dylan reunited with celebrated producer T Bone Burnett, who produced Dylan and the Wallflowers' 1996 breakthrough album "Bringing Down the Horse."

Dylan is also joined by Neko Case and Kelly Hogan, who provide back-up vocals to eight of the new album's 11 tracks.

"I'm so happy to be collaborating with Jakob at this exciting and vital time in his life as an artist," Burnett said in a statement. "I think this new album is an important work from a great musician."
