Dave Matthews Band Weekend on the Rocks Rock Music CD Review
Author: Clyde Lee Dennis
Weekend On The Rocks is the latest Rock CD put out by the highly group Dave Matthews Band and they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Dave Matthews Band fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
Weekend On The Rocks is a nicely varied, mix of 17 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly gifted musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
Listen and I think you’ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Dave Matthews Band is clearly a group that is in top form.
While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 - disc 1 - Time Of the Season, track 7 - disc 1 - Hunger For The Great Light, and track 9 - disc 2 - Everyday.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 1 - disc 1 - The Stone. What a nice track!
