Dave Matthews Band has returned with an all new album and an all new sound, after a four year hiatus of sorts. There newest album "Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King" has departed from earlier works by the DMB.
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.
Alongside the Delta Blues sounding songs you can also find the New Orleans French Quarter sound. Overall, this is a solid album, that shows the bands ability even in the absence of LeRoi 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".
