New Dave Matthews Band Single

The Dave Matthews Band has just made their new single, "Funny The Way It Is" available for download on their official site (this week only). This is the first single off of their upcoming Album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, stated to be released on June 2nd. This will be the band's first album since the passing of saxophonist Leroi Moore and its title is named after and dedicated to him.
In my opinion, it's a pretty solid song. I think it's a good mix of a bit of the old DMB as well as a good indication of where they have been heading.

Regarding the new album Dave Matthews' himself has stated, "This is a good record. Even people who don't like the Dave Matthews Band are going to like this record- and if they don't, then they just don't like music" (from Rolling Stone). I guess we'll see if he is right when the new album comes out. Until then, enjoy the single and catch them on tour.

On a side note, due to the tragic death of saxophonist Leroi Moore last year, Jeff Coffin of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones fame has officially joined the DMB and will be touring with them this Summer.
