Bob Dylan's legacy is multi-layered. The poet, protest singer, and all-around folk legend has left an indelible mark on society with his art, but also with his progeny. His son, Jakob Dylan, walked closely in his hero's (yes, hero is how he'd describe him) footsteps and made a life singing and writing music. Most notably, he founded and fronts The Wallflowers, who are still on tour today.
At a recent show, fans were flummoxed at how much he sounds like his father.

"Absolutely crazy how much his voice sounds so much like Bob," quipped a fan, to which another responded, "The Bob is intensifying."
Jakob likely wouldn't be upset at the comparison; he thinks quite highly of his rockstar dad.
Jakob once spoke toThe New York Times about Bob and his unwavering, fatherly support. “When I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons,” he recalled. “He never missed a single Little League game I had. He’s collected every home run ball I ever hit. And he’s still affectionate to me.”

Who are Bob Dylan's Five Other Kids?
Bob has six kids in total from two marriages, including Jakob, each of whom has a unique and special relationship with their father.
His first daughter, whom he adopted after marrying her mother Sara Lownds, is the famously private Maria Dylan Himmelman, 63. She is a writer, mainly a poet, and has never spoken on the record about her famous father. She married Peter Himmelman, a singer-songwriter, who she met through her father. His daughter Anna Dylan, 58, and son Sam Dylan, 57, have both led similarly private lives.
Jesse Byron Dylan, 59, is Dylan's first-born son, who studied film and went on to direct notable music videos for Tom Petty, Elvis Costello, will.i.am, and of course The Wallflowers. He even directed two feature films: American Wedding (2003) and Kicking and Screaming (2005) with Will Ferrell.
Dylan's youngest daughter, Desiree Gabrielle "Desi" Dennis-Dylan, 39, is from his private second marriage to his ex-wife backup singer Carolyn Dennis. She wasn't identified publicly until Dylan's biography Down the Highway came out and is also a performer like her father. She's even acted in shows such as NCIS, Modern Family, and Good Girls.
Jakob Dylan has also followed in his father's footsteps in relation to fatherhood. He shares four children with his screenwriter wife Paige Dylan.
"I’m a father, so it’s in all my songs," he once told The Washington Post. "My songs encompass whoever I am. I’ve been a father for a long time, so that’s in my mind."
