The Dave Matthews Band
OK, I know what a lot of you are thinking right now. Dave Matthews is such a throwback from the 90s! But have any of you kept up with his recent work? I'm guessing not. I actually didn't really learn to appreciate his music until a few years ago, through friends in Fort Collins. I can't remember if I've already posted about his music, but his recent albums warrant another post. I was paying attention to the band around the time they released "Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King" in 2009, and I really appreciated that album. It was really compelling. I have distinct memories of biking around Fort Collins in torrential rain and listening to that music. But somehow I lost track of them in the subsequent years. Now I come to find out they've released two new albums since 2009, and the most recent one "Come Tomorrow" has been rocking my world in the last week. It's everything everyone loves about Dave Matthews, with unbelievably catchy lyrics and riffs. There's the perennial saxophone, and driving percussion, and all the thoughtful lyrics. Definitely give it a listen! It's unbelievable how this band has maintained their relevance and excellence over the years.
