REVIEW: Dave Matthews Band - Away From The World


For a band who has been to the edge and back, making music that brings them back to their roots is always hard to do. With having been in existence for over 20 years, Dave Matthews Band has been able to grow with each new album, however, not always fitting in with their original signature sound or with the sounds of popular rock music. Creativity is always at the core, and their left field turns have both garnered success and tons of question marks. Their previous album (2009's "Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King) was a return to old, showcasing the intricacy of their music, their abilities to write equal parts radio pop rock gold and jam band fireworks had returned to the forefront of their music. This album marks the reuniting of the band with producer Steve Lillywhite, who helmed the recording processes of the band's first three (and most popular) albums. The sounds of the album are reminiscent of those releases however featuring a much more updated and mature Dave Matthews Band. The lyrical content has grown up and deals with much more global and adult themes and the album marks the first entirely recorded without founding member LeRoi Moore. Touring musicians Tim Reynolds (guirar), Jeff Coffin (saxaphones), and Rashawn Ross (trumpet) take a more prominent role on this record (including several writing credits and photos within the cd packaging), virtually making them official members of the band. The music has it all and is reminiscent of pieces of every single release from DMB over the past 20 years. Songs like "The Riff" and "Drunken Soldier" are deep and artistic and could be compared to "Stand Up" era DMB sounds combined with the production of their first two albums. The album's lead single "Mercy" is one of their best ever, both lyrically and musically, and is very reminiscent of tracks like "Where Are You Going" and "You & Me." "Sweet" has Dave playing ukulele which is a unique turn and "Belly Belly Nice" is a track that is most likely rooted in the funk of Sly & The Family Stone. Songs like "Gaucho" and "If Only" could easily have fit into the earlier Lillywhite records, but are showcased perfectly by the band at this time in their careers. Sure the band could have gone into the studio with Steve Lillywhite and dusted off a lot of older tunes and made a superbly killer album (and we still hope they do), but it's nice to hear that the band still has what it takes to make new, fresh, and exciting tunes that fit nicely within their catalogue and their live setlists. This album marks what could very well be the return to original form of Dave Matthews Band, and be the springboard that launches another successful 20 years of awesome recording and touring.

CD REVIEW: Dave Matthews Band "Live In New York City"

Live In New York City
After almost 20 years in existence, Dave Matthews Band has been around the block and back again, and the backbone of their success is their unimaginable ability to perform live and keep it fresh and exciting every time. Their newest live release is proof positive that they are the best at the live game, and they have returned to the top of their game. The sound of this album and the energy of the show, which was recorded in July 2010 at Citi Field, is of a brand new band. They sound as if they have just made their first album and are loving life. The live album is the first full band live release (not including the "Europe 2009" box set) to include cuts from their critically acclaimed album "Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King." The set features the band's single "Funny The Way It Is" as well as fan favorites "Squirm," "Seven," and "Spaceman." Tim Reynolds has been playing live with the band during their post-GrooGrux shows, which helps the band sound just as good as they did back when they were pushing "Under The Table And Dreaming," "Crush," and "Before These Crowded Streets." Favorites and hits from all three of those albums all make the mix including "Satellite," "Crash Into Me," and "Stay (Wasting Time)." The band works in killer renditions of some of their live staples as well, such as "Warehouse," "Dancing Nancies," and "Two Step" which includes some opening lyrics from "Time Bomb." The fans get treated to a few of Dave's solo songs ("Gravedigger," "Some Devil), some super old tunes ("Seek Up," "One Sweet World"), and even a new song that the band has been kicking around for a while ("Blackjack"). The bottom line is that they are as good as they have even been and are having more fun playing music than ever before, and now fans can experience it form themselves. It's too bad that the band is taking 2011 from touring, but at least they are taking a break during one of the highest points of their career.
