Introduction
The 12 singles represented here reveal the depth and breadth of the Dave Matthews Band's ideas and sounds from Under the Table and Dreaming to Everyday. From the philosophical "The Best of What' Around," to the pop perfection of "Too Much," to the soulful "Stay (Wasting Time)," straight on into the plugged-in and stripped-down "I Did It," the Dave Matthews Band has proved time and again the true nature and level of their artistty, as well as their personal drive to express themselves via whatever means necessary.
Dave Matthews Band has collectively walked a career path very different from many of its contemporaries.
Dave himself was born in South Africa in 1967 and grew up in not just that part of the world, but in England and Westchester, New York, as well. While the family was residing in Westchester, Dave's father John, a physicist, died; his mother Val moved the family back to South Africa not long after. Dave continued to reside there until he was called to serve in the army of the Apartheid government. Rather than join this army, he returned to the States, passing through New York before finally joining his family in Virginia.
After spending some time in a community college, Dave found himself working as a bartender at Miller's, a bar in Charlottesville. He had played some piano as a child, and had begun to play the guitar at about age nine. He was inspired by the musicians he heard and met in the community-Peter Griesar, Carter Beauford, Stefan Lessard, LeRoi Moore, and Boyd Tinsley. He also met guitar whiz Tim Reynolds, who would become a virtual "sixth" band member, contributing heavily to the first four albums as well as eventually touring with Dave as a duo. Dave wrote several songs, and with the encouragement and guidance of friends, he cut a demo with five of the local musical heavyweights. These musicians "clicked" from day one.
It soon became clear that the combination of Dave on vocals and guitar, Carter Beauford on drums, Stefan Lessard on bass, LeRoi Moore on sax, and Boyd Tinsley on violin was formidable-the Dave Matthews Band juggernaut had started to roll. The band made it dear that they allowed and even welcomed the bootlegging of their shows. In return, their fans rewarded them with devotion. At the time they were about to release their independently produced Remember Two Things in ovember of 1993, the band's reputation had grown so great that they essentially had their pick of major label deals. They signed with RCA.
The 1994 release Under the Table and Dreaming entered the Billboard charts at #34, went to #11 on the Billboard 200, and received a Grammy nomination for "What Would You Say." Two years later, Crash debuted atfr'2 and received Grammy nominations for the album itself and for the songs "So Much to ay."
"Crash into Me," and 'Too Much." Steve Lillywhite was the producer of these two releases plus the next- Before These Crowded Streets-which shipped at #1 on the Billboard charts.
In January of 2000, the band assembled to record. In June, three months behind schedule, the band and the record company listened to the material and agreed that they needed to rework their efforts. To paraphrase Dave, they were songs about dying, not songs about living. regardless of the fact that we're all going to die. Dave was subsequently introduced to Glen Ballard who had interned with Quincy Jone and produced for Alanis Morrissette, No Doubt, and Aerosmith, among many others. Dave and Glen holed themselves up for ten days and wrote the 12 new songs that became Everyday. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, selling more than 700,000 copies in its first week of release.
Jot content to confine their activities to the musical area, the Dave Matthews Band established the Barna Works Foundation, an institution through which the band contributes to charities such as the American Diabetes Association, the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the Southern Environmental Law Center. And various Charlottesville-area clinics and community centers.
