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, together 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 together with scatlike singing." Billboard, in a cover story on Dave Matthews Band, praised Big Whiskey as "its excellent album yet… Highlights contain 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."

Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Surprisingly good   2010-08-28
By S. Honsaker (Grove City, PA)
I went with this CD after asking a girlfriend about it. I always enjoyed the old Dave Matthews but his latest has evolved into a wonderful surprise. I don't think anyone should be disappointed in the direction he has taken.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  A perfect blend of crowd pleasing and experimenting   2010-08-11
By J. Carroll (Island Heights,NJ)
Starting with the haunting "Grux" segueing to the hard charging "Shake Me Like a Monkey," The Dave Matthews Band definitely is in fine form on this recording. Moving easily from songs as catchy and melodic as "Why I Am" to the banjo picking intro and swamp sound of "Alligator Pie" this is Matthews' CD is a great combination of his accessible crowd pleasing early material and his later experimentation. Here Matthews has found the balance, remembering what I got him to this level, but still willing to grow and push the sound even further. There are far bigger Matthews' fans than me, but as a casual fan this is the first CD of his that really spoke to me musically in a way that surpasses the older material I am familiar with. It's just some wonderful music.

Everything went as expected, got the cd in a timely manner and it was in good shape. Played just like like new.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  A new favorite   2010-08-02
By Powell E. Barber (Tallahassee, FL USA)
From an unimpressive first listen, this has grown into a new favorite. A very strong performance, with great musicianship, tremendous originality, and steroidal back beats.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Great feel   2010-06-04
By 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.
