Talk About Rock Music

Dave Matthews Band, who will be supporting Bruce Springsteen at the Hard Rock Calling Festival in June (see previous post), have now revealed the track list to their new album Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King which is out on June 2nd.

The first single “Funny The Way It Is” is still available as a free download over at DMB’s official site and the new album features 13 songs (listed below). The band also unveiled the hand-drawn cover artwork.

Dave Matthews, when speaking with Rolling Stone Magazine, explained that; “This is a good record. Even people who don’t like Dave Matthews Band are going to like this record — and if they don’t, then they just don’t like music.”

Rolling Stone also called Big Whiskey “DMB’s heaviest album yet, both musically and emotionally” so it is certainly something to look forward to. The album is also a tribute to saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who passed away early in the album’s recording as a result of injuries sustained in an ATV accident. The album’s title, “GrooGrux King” is a reference to LeRoi’s nickname.
