"Like most people, I got into the Wallflowers with the song "One Headlight." But it seems only a minority have been lucky enough (and smart enough) to stick around and be rewarded with such great music. This is, hands-down, my favorite of all five Wallflowers albums. Don't let the lack of radio play scare you away. The Wallflowers haven't lost a beat since "Bringing Down the Horse." This is just quality music that you can listen to over and over.
Favorite song: Three Ways"

"Red Letter Days is an example of great musicianship. The song writing is powerful, and the vocals are, as always, distinct. The best part is how the whole album listens from start to finish. If you're looking for music to get deep into, this is it. It had my playing air guitar and singing along. Great fun for a 24 year old! ;)"

"The Wallflowers Red Letter Days is so good you will be begging for more. This album I guess you would say is more poppy, simpler songwriting and arragements but this album is brilliant from start to finish. This is their best album since Bringing Down the Horse. Jakob Dylan's vocals are smooth, dreamy, and strong as can be on Red Letter Days, this beautiful man can do no wrong. Honestly I have never heard a bad song from this much under-rated band ever! Stanout tracks from Red Letter Days include: How Good It Can Get, Health and Happiness, When You're On Top, Closer To You, Three Ways, See You When I Get There, and Here in Pleasantville. I just about wept when I heard the song Closer To You, this song is so haunting and gorgeous, great piano music and vocals. No one ever talks about The Wallflowers anymore and it's a darn shame because this incredible band is worth talking and hearing, buy this album as soon as possible. Enjoy!"

"If you are a The Wallflowers' huge fan like I am, then you'll probably share my frustration everytime I praize their work, even knowing few people really know about their terrific songs. But I guess it's better this way: Jakob Dylan is a complete artist, and I don't think that the mainstream would improve him. RED LETTER DAYS is full of chilling and wonderful composicions, and we can feel how energetic and inspired The Wallflowers can sound, listening every single song. If you still don't believe that you should discover them, please listen CLOSER TO YOU... it'd be a heartwarming journey, followed by EVERYBODY OUT OF THE WATER, a superb rock song. And be prepared: their last album, REBEL, SWEETHEART, is even better."
