VIMTV Episode #10: Dave Matthews Band – Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King

Jake: Not Recommended, 40/100

Tom: Recommended, 80/100

Overview: After the tragic death of saxophonist Leroi Moore, Dave Matthews Band pulled their sound together to make the somewhat Cajun/New Orleans influenced “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.” Tom thinks it’s a great return to form for DMB, with great songwriting and attitude, while Jake is largely unimpressed and finds the lyrics to be abominable.
