Product Description

CD Description

Dave Matthews Band’s Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King is the group’s seventh studio album and i first since 2005’s Stand Up. With its celebratory spirit and lyrical ruminations on fragile mortality, Big Whiskey pays tribute to the band’s saxophonist, LeRoi Moore, and features some of his last recordings. Moore passed away in the summer of 2008, halfway through the making of the album. It has been called the group's (also named the top-drawing American band in the world by Billboard) heaviest album yet, both musically and emotionally.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning, thought provoking and perfectly balanced return to form., 4 Jun 2009
By D. Ward "Sugarwillkillyou" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A must for any Dave Matthews cohort and a new direction which will almost certainly broaden the appeal of this iconic band.

This album combines depth and structure of Before These Crowded Streets and the upbeat joy of Under The Table and Dreaming.

It's definitely DMB but it's a heavier, more diverse and modern version.

The effort that has gone into this album is obvious from the outset, Big Whiskey is a fitting tribute to the late Leroi Moore and the first DMB release that has done the band justice for over a decade.

5.0 out of 5 stars DMB Born Again, 23 Jun 2009
By Mr. Robert Pashby (Hitchin, Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
DMB released Crash when I was living in the US when I came across them for the first time on the Disney Channel! Crash took me about 6 listens until I finally decided I 'liked' DMB, and after the 7th listen I was hooked.

This is the first DMB album to have had a similar effect on me. Whilst Crash is a softer entry point for anyone listening to DMB for the first time, Big Whiskey really is the Dog's Testicles and in my opinion DMB's best since Crash - prevailing albums have had numerous great tracks on them but, for me, never had the full WOW factor.

DMB cover the same topics as many other previous offerings notably Love/Passion, Mortality and our emergence as the 'great' ape. So the basic theme is make loadsa love and the most of life before you die (made poignant by the tragic death of Saxman Moore last year) you stupid monkey.

Dave's lyrics still play with pun and metaphor and are more poetic than I can adequately describe. However, on a couple of tracks the vocals are maybe a little under-mixed (my only slight criticism of the entire album). DMB rock - but they don't do 4/4, 12bar, and three chords. There is an abundance of tempo, rhythm, key and stylistic mergers/changes that will keep any muso's hairs-on-the-back-of-the-neck firmly aroused. A stronger brass section and more orchestral arrangements are departures from previous offerings. The sound is stronger, firmer and slightly heavier.


Who should listen to this ? If you go to a DMB gig it is 50/50 M/F so they may be rock genre, but they are not stereotypical - DMB definately has a femine side. And it is pointless telling anyone who has previously bought a DMB album to "buy it" - they will probably have already have done so. But if you haven't experienced DMB before, and like auditory overload, diverse musical styles, musicianship to the the highest standard, and thought provoking lyrics ....... give this album a try - you won't be disappointed.

Oh. And play it loud. As loud as you can stand !
