I’ve always had a rather odd relationship with Dave Matthews music. It seems whenever I like a song or an album, I find out that the critics or long time fans seem to hate that very song or album.So I’ll try again. Here’s one I really like from the new album.
I just recently finished re-watching Breaking Bad, one of the all time greatest series in TV history (in my humble opinion). This is the song that accompanies the last scene. Great use of music, and a great great song!
This four man band from Michigan has only been in existence since 2017 but they sound like they’ve been doing this a lot longer. Classic rock and R&B influences jump out at you. Lead singer is almost channeling Robert Plant in this great song.
The Hold Steady have been compared to the E Street Band. I’m not sure I see it but Craig Finn does have a way with words. Favorite line of this song— “ She said the theme of this party is the Industrial Age, and you came in dressed like a train wreck.”
Starting to get ready to see him later this week. This could have easily made my recent post Songs about Rain. Listen for the cymbals – I think they add so much to song.
