1996, the second Album from Dave Matthews and still their best selling.
Not surprising given one track alone ('Crash into me') is worth the Album. Totally, completely.
Matthews vocals are superb and this is folky rock.
'Tripping Billies' has a hillbilly sound with fighting violins, 'Two Step' is good old rock n' roll, whereas 'Let you Down' is ballady. Pretty eclectic and the Band are from Virginia USA so you get a country sense too. If you don't know them, give them a chance.
All the Album produced by the great Steve Lillywhite (U2, The Stones, Talking Heads etc) but grounded in great playing and strong songwriting.
If you don't know the Band, this will bring you into them and a really interesting, strong sound that's very different.
This is a great Album and a great single 'Crash into me' which was inspired by Matthews wife (the love of his life). You might also know the Stevie Nicks cover.
A sound of Summer. Try listening to this and then you'll know....
