Dave Matthews Band, ‘Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King’ (RCA)

The first sound you hear on the new Dave Matthews Band album is the bleat of LeRoi Moore’s saxophone — appropriate for a disc titled in honor of the founding member, who died unexpectedly last August following a freak ATV accident. GrooGrux is harder edged and more bottom heavy than DMB’s usual fare, undoubtedly due to the band’s decision to work with Green Day and My Chemical Romance producer Rob Cavallo, but probably also a result of the grief suffered by Moore’s surviving bandmates. A fond, funky farewell.
