Solo Career
On September 20, 2006 it was announced by Billboard that Dylan had signed a new recording contract with Columbia Records. The Wallflowers' current situation has remained unknown since their recording contract with Interscope Records ended in 2005.
Dylan wrote and recorded "Here Comes Now" as the theme song for the U.S. television show Six Degrees, which premiered on September 21, 2006. His song "Stardust Universe" premiered on Jericho on October 25, 2006.
A cover of The Band's "Whispering Pines" appears on the tribute CD Endless Highway – The music of The Band, which was released late January 2007. Dylan also contributed backing vocals to the track, "Black Haired Girl," on Jesse Malin's 2007 album, Glitter in the Gutter.
Dylan collaborated with Dhani Harrison on the John Lennon song, "Gimme Some Truth," for Lennon's tribute album, "Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur", which was released on June 12, 2007. As of early 2007, Jakob Dylan had performed with his father only once, at a corporate gig for semiconductor company Applied Materials on November 14, 1997; although they played the same show, they did not play together.
Jakob Dylan is also featured on the Court Yard Hounds (2 members of the Dixie Chicks) album. He sings background vocals on the song “See You in the Spring.” He joined them on stage at two SXSW performances for that song. At one performance they all performed Rod Stewart's "You Wear It Well."

Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or career:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
