Dave Matthews Band (RCA)
The title of Dave Matthews Band’s seventh album pays tribute to Matthews’ former saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who died last year after a quad bike accident.
The record itself, though, requires less explanation.
Matthews’ pop-funk take on jam-band culture won him 30 million album sales, and tracks such as Shake Me Like A Monkey seem to retain the status quo.
Fans will love it; doubters will remain unconvinced.
