  • The Laptop Sessions: “Something Good This Way Comes” (Jakob Dylan Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

    Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

    By Jeff Copperthite:

    And now, I am proud to bring you another great addition to The Laptop Sessions library. While he is technically not a new artist, his solo work is.

    Today, Jakob Dylan released his first solo album “Seeing Things”, and to celebrate this release, I have dedicated today’s Laptop Session to this album. I have been very excited about it and can’t wait until amazon ships it to me.

    Meanwhile, about 2 days ago I finally figured out how to play today’s song “Something Good This Way Comes”. It is track 8 and has been one of the songs on his website for quite some time. The album is very heavy on the acoustic guitar, and also finger picking. While I’m not new to it, I don’t do it often. Obviously, a single acoustic guitar (where Jakob Dylan is using 4+ in some songs) will not sound as much like the album, but I think this effort is quite good.

    Also, you’ll notice the first verse I seem a bit loud. I sorta forgot “gee i’m fingerpicking I better sing a little softer”. The rest of it sounds fine, however.

    If you wanna know the chords (relative to 2nd fret Capo), the verse is:

    D G D D G D Em D A Em D A

    Chorus is: G A D
    Bridge is: F#m, Bm, A, D, E, A7

    I hope you enjoy today’s session, and I hope you have picked up (or will pick up) “Seeing Things”. I can’t wait to hear the entire album! Come on amazon…

    Meanwhile, enjoy today’s session, and come back tomorrow for another Original Song by Jim Fusco! I can’t wait to see what he chooses.

Better known for his work as lead songwriter for the Wallflowers, Jakob Dylan embarked on a solo career in 2008 with the release of his first album of acoustic music, Seeing Things. His songwriting is the same as it has always been – very much with a focus on the lyrics and catchy choruses wherever possible. Of course, this is a more serious effort, and it lacks some of the energy and fun of previous Wallflowers albums. Still, Dylan’s new music is all original, with no cover songs to fill space on his first solo effort, and the acoustic song style that he has developed is strong. This is not a surprise, as he has always had acoustic music on his albums, particularly the two stripped-down songs on the Breach record. Songwriter Jeff Copperthite was one of the first to post a “Something Good This Way Comes” YouTube video cover song for the Laptop Sessions acoustic cover song video blog.
