I haven't had much to say in a while, so I've turned into "that guy" whose blog sits at the bottom of the "followed blogs" list on some pages. I feel this must change. So......

The Dave Matthews Band will release their seventh studio album, "Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King," a name inspired by the late LeRoi Moore, long-time sax player for DMB. I am incredibly excited about this album, having heard just a couple of snippets. That being said, I'm incredibly nervous and sad about this release.

This is the last studio album to feature LeRoi. The band had been recording the album for the last few years so they were able to use some of that to build into songs.

Rob Cavallo is the producer of the album and this is where I get nervous. You see, Cavallo is the mastermind behind behind pretty much all of Green Day's albums. Awesome. The guy who produced "Shenanigans" will be producing this album.

But I have faith. DMB will always be one of my favorite groups so my hope sustains that this will be an album full of heartache and joy.
