===2006–2011: Solo career===
Beginning in 2006, Dylan began playing shows without The Wallflowers, though he did tour with the band on numerous occasions between 2007 and 2009.  In May and June 2006, Dylan toured with former Wallflowers producer [[T Bone Burnett]], performing solo acoustic opening sets.  In fall of that year, Dylan's song "Here Comes Now" was featured as the theme song for an [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] drama, ''[[Six Degrees (TV series)|Six Degrees]]''.  Also in the fall of 2006, it was announced that Dylan had signed a solo recording contract with [[Columbia Records]].<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Jakob Dylan Joins Columbia, Writes for TV|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57191/jakob-dylan-joins-columbia-writes-for-tv|magazine=Billboard|access-date=November 15, 2014|archive-date=September 15, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140915073138/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57191/jakob-dylan-joins-columbia-writes-for-tv|url-status=live}}</ref>

====''Seeing Things''====
In 2007, Dylan appeared on several tribute albums, including ''[[Endless Highway: The Music of the Band]]'' and ''[[Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur]]'', a charity album consisting of covers of [[John Lennon]] songs.  On ''Endless Highway'', Dylan performed a cover of [[the Band]]'s "Whispering Pines."  For ''Instant Karma'', Dylan performed a cover of Lennon's "[[Gimme Some Truth]]," with [[Dhani Harrison]] contributing backing vocals on the song.<ref>{{cite web|title=Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/instant-karma-the-amnesty-international-campaign-to-save-darfur-mw0000577865|website=All Music|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=June 22, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130622051801/http://www.allmusic.com/album/instant-karma-the-amnesty-international-campaign-to-save-darfur-mw0000577865|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Endless Highway: The Music of The Band|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/endless-highway-the-music-of-the-band-mw0000558210|website=All Music|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=October 23, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141023011501/http://www.allmusic.com/album/endless-highway-the-music-of-the-band-mw0000558210|url-status=live}}</ref>

In September 2007, it was reported by ''[[The New York Times]]'' that Dylan was recording his first solo album at producer [[Rick Rubin]]'s home in the [[Hollywood Hills]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Hirschberg|first1=Lynn|title=The Music Man|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/02/magazine/02rubin.t.html?ref=magazine&_r=0|newspaper=The New York Times|date=September 2, 2007|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=September 26, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150926092724/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/02/magazine/02rubin.t.html?ref=magazine|url-status=live}}</ref> Regarding its sparse instrumentation and production, Dylan described the differences in the writing process for ''Seeing Things'', compared to writing for The Wallflowers:

{{Blockquote|A lot of times when you write songs, you're aware that this line is just going to help you get to the next line and someone's probably going to do an organ fill right there anyway — you can let those go.  But with something like this, it was just three instruments, really; vocals being one of the instruments, which then makes the lyrics being one of the instruments.  You're more aware that things are going to be more exposed and you can't really let anything go unless you're confident that this is what you want to say.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jakob Dylan: Strength in Starkness|url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92679232|website=NPR.org|date=July 18, 2008|access-date=16 November 2014|archive-date=October 5, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171005101019/http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92679232|url-status=live}}</ref>}}

Following the completion of recording in 2007, ''Seeing Things'' was released on June 10, 2008.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jakob Dylan: Seeing Things|url=http://www.jakobdylan.com/music/seeing-things|website=JakobDylan.com|access-date=November 16, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20141122042346/http://www.jakobdylan.com/music/seeing-things|archive-date=November 22, 2014}}</ref> The album received generally favorable reviews and peaked at No.24 in the US on the ''Billboard 200''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Reviews for Seeing Things|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/seeing-things/jakob-dylan|website=Metacritic.com|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=February 4, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204040833/http://www.metacritic.com/music/seeing-things/jakob-dylan|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|title=Jakob Dylan Chart History|url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/304065/jakob+dylan/chart|magazine=Billboard|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=July 7, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150707053249/http://www.billboard.com/artist/304065/jakob+dylan/chart|url-status=live}}</ref> Following the release of ''Seeing Things'', Dylan made several television appearances to promote the album and toured with a backing band called the Gold Mountain Rebels, which consisted of Wallflowers drummer Fred Eltringham, guitarist [[Audley Freed]] and bassist George Reif.  In the summer and fall of 2008, Dylan and the Gold Mountain Rebels played a combination of theaters and festivals in the US, Europe, and Japan, including [[Farm Aid]] in [[Mansfield, Massachusetts]], and the [[Newport Folk Festival]]. In addition to touring with the Gold Mountain Rebels, Dylan and Eltringham also performed several shows with The Wallflowers in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Wallflowers Concert Setlists |url=http://www.setlist.fm/setlists/the-wallflowers-7bd6b60c.html?page=12|website=Setlist.fm|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=November 29, 2014|url-status=deviated|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129030615/http://www.setlist.fm/setlists/the-wallflowers-7bd6b60c.html?page=12 }}</ref>

====''Women + Country''====
In 2009, Dylan visited T Bone Burnett at a studio where Burnett was producing the soundtrack for the film [[Crazy Heart]].  Burnett asked Dylan if he had any new songs to show him.  The only song Dylan had was one he had written for [[Glen Campbell]]'s forthcoming album, ''[[Ghost on the Canvas]]'', called "Nothing But the Whole Wide World."  Burnett was impressed by the song and asked Dylan to come up with fifteen additional songs so they could put an album together.  Dylan came back to Burnett six weeks later with the songs and in 2009 they recorded Dylan's second solo album, ''[[Women + Country]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Dylan Performs With Neko Case, Talks "Women + Country"|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/jakob-dylan-performs-with-neko-case-talks-women-country-20100405|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=April 5, 2010|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=December 24, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141224234347/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/jakob-dylan-performs-with-neko-case-talks-women-country-20100405|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Jakob Dylan – Soundcheck|url=http://soundcheck.wnyc.org/story/89676-jakob-dylan/|website=WNYC|access-date=November 16, 2014|date=August 4, 2010|archive-date=December 19, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141219020651/http://soundcheck.wnyc.org/story/89676-jakob-dylan/|url-status=live}}</ref>

''Women + Country'' had a decidedly fuller sound than ''Seeing Things'', thanks to the horns, [[pedal steel guitar|pedal steel]] and fiddle that were prominently featured throughout the album.  Burnett also brought in [[Neko Case]] and [[Kelly Hogan]] to contribute background vocals on eight of the album's eleven songs.<ref>{{cite web|title=Women + Country credits|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/women-country-mw0001965762/credits|website=All Music|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=December 8, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208165831/http://www.allmusic.com/album/women-country-mw0001965762/credits|url-status=live}}</ref>

After releasing an EP version of the album earlier that year, ''Women + Country'' was released on April 6, 2010, on Columbia Records.  The album was met with generally favorable reviews and peaked at No.12 on the ''Billboard 200''; the highest position any of Dylan's albums – solo or with The Wallflowers – had peaked since The Wallflowers' 1996 breakthrough album, ''[[Bringing Down the Horse]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Reviews for Women + Country|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/women-+-country/jakob-dylan|website=Metacritic|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=February 4, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204040831/http://www.metacritic.com/music/women-+-country/jakob-dylan|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|title=Jakob Dylan – Chart History|url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/304065/jakob-dylan/chart|magazine=Billboard|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=October 26, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141026024949/http://www.billboard.com/artist/304065/jakob-dylan/chart|url-status=live}}</ref> In addition to a series of television appearances to promote the album, Dylan and a backing band called Three Legs toured the U.S., the United Kingdom and Ireland in the spring and summer of 2010.  At a stop at the Bearsville Theater in [[Woodstock, New York]], Dylan was joined on stage by [[Garth Hudson]] of [[the Band]] for several songs.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jakob Dylan and Three Legs perform "On Up the Mountain" with Garth Hudson|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CnZ16MbkqE| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211113/_CnZ16MbkqE| archive-date=2021-11-13 | url-status=live|website=YouTube| date=July 10, 2010 |access-date=November 16, 2014}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Also in 2010, Dylan sang backing vocals on the [[Court Yard Hounds]]' song "See You In the Spring."  Along with being released on the Court Yard Hounds' [[Court Yard Hounds (album)|eponymous debut album]], the song was specially released as a [[Single (music)|45 RPM]] single for [[Record Store Day]], 2010.  Dylan's song "Everybody's Hurting" from ''Women + Country'' was featured as the B-side to the record.<ref>{{cite web|title=Record Store Day|url=http://www.recordstoreday.com/Page/813|website=Record Store Day|access-date=November 16, 2014|archive-date=November 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129081624/http://www.recordstoreday.com/Page/813|url-status=live}}</ref>
