Reviews
Entertainment Weekly: “Saxophonist LeRoi Moore died last August from injuries incurred in an ATV accident, midway through the recording of their latest album. His spirit — and his sound — looms large, however, on Big Whiskey.”
Rolling Stone: “’Big Whiskey’ is a lot like a New Orleans funeral parade — mourning and zest balled into big, brawny music.”
Billboard: “Matthews’ lyrics can be of the make-love-shine variety, and there are a few meandering detours as usual, but ‘Big Whiskey’ finds the band at its most pointed and purposeful in years.”
Blog Critics: “‘Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King’ is a burst of energy and a worthy addition to the DMB canon.”
Bullz-Eye.com: “It’s perhaps their best album to date – a sweaty, loose-limbed beast of a record that vacuum seals the band’s creative spark and doesn’t lose any of its flavor.”
AntsMarching.org: “This is the best DMB album in over a decade, with the chops to hold its own against any other disc they’ve put out.”
California Chronicle: “Death can force a guy to grow. So can a good producer. ‘Big Whiskey’ is proof.”
Spin: “A fond, funky farewell.”
