Big Whiskey - A DMB Tribute to Fellow Band Member
After a four year hiatus, Dave Matthews band has come back with their newest release, "Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King". This album is a departure from their earlier albums, to say the least.
The Dave Matthews Band, has been known for a more rocking sound then their contemporary counterparts such as Phish or Moe. This album takes a different turn towards areas that they have yet to visit. DMB breaks away from their early, main stream sound, and uses this album to expand on a more mature approach towards music and it's influences, while highlighting their departed friend and founding band member, LeRoi Moore.
Moore died in 2008 as a result of complications caused by an ATV accident. His role as saxophonist was taken up in the studio by Jeff Coffin. Many theorize the band came back together to make this album as a sort of tribute to Moore, and this is easily across the CD.
Their first track, "Funny the Way It Is, most resembles the old Dave Matthews Band sound and reflects on how the band dealt with the loss of Moore. Other show an influence from the bands time apart and working with others in the field, as well as their Louisiana recording experience with Rob Cavallo.
With a Delta Blues sound, along with New Orleans French Quarter influences this album show the bands ability to play, despite the loss of Moore.
Despite the new directions, fans will still get the same feeling from each new track. As with the previous albums, fans will surely be able to find the heart of their sound and will put "Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King" on the same high praise as "Under the Table and Dreaming" and "Crash". - 23806
