As a press release puts it: “When he was a kid growing up in the Rust Belt suburbs of Chicago, worlds away from the city’s cultural stronghold, the Dave Matthews Band taught him how to play and love music.” The album features Walker’s frequent collaborators Andrew Scott Young and Ryan Jewell. Walker, however, grew up listening to them. The Lillywhite Sessions was never officially released, but most of its songs were reworked (sometimes with new lyrics) and re-recorded with producer Stephen Harris for the band’s 2002 album Busted Stuff.ĭave Mathews Band have been very successful, all but their first two albums have debuted at #1 on the Billboard album charts, but they aren’t what you would call a cool band, or at least one that’s been all that embraced by indie rock fans and musicians. The Lillywhite Sessions leaked to the Internet soon after Everyday‘s release, in the days of Napster, and some fans preferred it to Everyday. The band’s label rejected the album and Matthews instead teamed with producer Glen Ballard to write a new album, which only took them 10 days to write and resulted in 2001’s Everyday. Now he has shared another track from the album, “Diggin’ a Ditch.” Listen below, followed by Walker’s upcoming tour dates.ĭave Matthews Band recorded the original The Lillywhite Sessions in 19 with producer Steve Lillywhite, as the follow-up to 1998’s Before These Crowded Streets. Previously he shared the album’s first single, “Busted Stuff” (which was one of our Songs of the Week).
Instead he has taken an unreleased Dave Matthews Band album from 2001 and covered it track-for-track.
But he is already releasing another new album, The Lillywhite Sessions, on November 16, also via Dead Oceans. Ryley Walker just released a great new album, Deafman Glance, back in May via Dead Oceans.
