Dave Matthews Band - Remember Two Things - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With sales on Under the Table And Dreaming of over 4 million, and their current album, Crash, topping 3 million units, Virginia's own Dave Matthews Band has truly established themselves as one of the major forces in contemporary music. Now, with the band embarking upon their biggest tour ever, RCA makes this 5-track EP (recorded in 1994) available through BMG Distribution. Recently, featuring InchAll Along the WatchtowerInch and InchDancing Nancies,Inch has sold over 100,000 units without ever having been available at retail.

The first studio album since the death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore, BIG WHISKEY AND THE GROOGRUX KING finds the Dave Matthews Band none the worse for wear and collaborating with superstar producer Rob Cavallo (best known for his extensive work with Green Day). Cavallo's way with an aggressive riff is in evidence on InchShake Me Like a Monkey,Inch a funky track vaguely reminiscent of Peter Gabriel's InchSledgehammer,Inch and the driving InchWhy I Am,Inch which recalls the Knack's InchMy Sharona.Inch Other songs, such as the groovy, polyrhythmic InchSpaceman,Inch find the band returning to classic jammy, chops-a-riffic DMB territory. Full of prominent hooks and snap-tight ensemble playing, BIG WHISKEY gave DMB fans another reason to rejoice.

Grant Stewart is as dominating a tenor saxophonist as exists on the straight ahead jazz scene. The thirty-five year old native of Toronto, Canada came to New York City in 1990 and has become a mainstay.
