Dave Matthews Band Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King on 2x Vinyl LP!
Their Best Album in Years!!!
The Dave Matthews Band is set to release their first studio album in over 4 years. Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance), the record, titled Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King (a reference and tribute to former member LeRoi Moore who passed away in 2008) is the follow-up to 2005’s Stand Up, the fourth consecutive Dave Matthews Band studio album to enter The Billboard 200 at 1. The group has sold a collective 35 million units and with over 15 million tickets sold, has been named the top-drawing American band in the world by Billboard Magazine.
It’s not a somber album. On the contrary, it bristles with an urgency lacking in most every other Matthews Band release; since its 1993 debut, the band has never rocked quite so hard, and Matthews at times sounds possessed. The amiable, meandering head-bobbing of the ‘90s and the tighter but sterile song structures of the last decade have been ditched in favor of an uncharacteristically direct attack. It’s as if the band finally figured out how to blend the strengths of the two eras: tauter arrangements, fiery ensemble interplay.
