Item Description
Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance), Big Whiskey has been hailed by Rolling Stone as the group’s "heaviest album yet, both musically and emotionally," which went on to note: "Throughout, Carter Beauford beats out elaborate, propulsive groves; bassist Stefan Lessard lays down Flea-style funk bass lines; violinist Boyd Tinsley plays cresting, intense runs; and Matthews mirrors Moore’s saxophone lines with scatlike singing." Billboard, in a cover story on Dave Matthews Band, praised Big Whiskey as "its best album yet… Highlights include the funk-rock rave-up 'Shake Me Like a Monkey,' the stirring ballad 'Lying in the Hands of God,' the swampy rocker 'Alligator Pie (Cockadile),' radio-friendly fare like 'Why I Am,' which features playful horns over a solid rock riff and a hooky chorus, and 'Funny the Way It Is,' which parlays a subtle intro into a soaring, syncopated anthem."

Great feel

Reviewer: Heather N. Fleischer
I agree with other reviewers that this album has a great feel to it. The entire band is in to it, and they work together in a great dynamic that makes each song, well, dynamic. :)
I will say that the Super Deluxe edition is worth it for the extra songs - they are some of the best on the album.
Just like old times

This album reminds me of when I first started listening to Under the Table and Dreaming. I don't know how else to explain it, but it seems that Dave Matthews and his band went back to their roots. It has a really comfortable feel to it.

I enjoyed this. If you like Dave Matthews it is a must have. I have found that there are a couple filler songs that I skip over, but for the most part I really like it.
Fast & On Time!!

Many people love Dave Matthews unconditionally. You know the idea of "Straight To Video"? My local record shop has so many of these already returned that it's found its way into the clearance bin. In fact, if you go to the regular "Used" section, the Dave Matthews section is empty. However, if you look under CLEARANCE, you will find each of his CDs at $3.00 or less.
It's because his fifteen minutes are up and because every song on this record is rubbish. I feel sorry for the band because they're quite taleneted. However, they're stuck. In 2010, no one wants to hear a white guy do the lame "Squibbidy doo dee bee bop!" It's just dreadful.
However, people follow him like he's a cultmaster. It's to start shunning this tired music and demand something better.
