#Ryley walker dave matthews free
Walker wasn’t doing it ironically, he was genuinely a Dave Matthews fan in his youth, and his version also took the songs in interesting new directions, such as free jazz. Though maybe there’s a whole batch of this kind of thing hidden in his trove of side projects on Bandcamp? For instance, you gotta hear the latest from Crazy Bread, his improvisational duo with Max Allison. Last month Ryley Walker released The Lillywhite Sessions, in which he took an unreleased Dave Matthews Band album from 2001 and covered it track-for-track.
I was always like, Man, Dave fucking gets dark, and it’s real. Ryley Walker‘s second album of 2018 is out today: that is, his reimagining of Dave Matthews Band‘s pivotal turn-of-the-2000s album-that-should-have-been The Lillywhite Sessions. So yes, The Lillywhite Sessions will be unique among DMB-related projects, but it may turn out to be unique among Walker’s output too. And Dave Matthews music is generally not liked by my peers, or people I hang out with. It’s a bleary, distortion-drenched guitar onslaught that may be the first noise-pop Dave Matthews cover on record, Walker’s Beck-meets-Nick Drake vocals carried away on a wave of fervent lo-fi noise. We spoke to Walker upon the announcement of The Lillywhite Sessions, out next month, at which point he shared lead single “Busted Stuff.” Whereas he gave that song a treatment similar to the jazzy post-rock stylings of his recent Deafman Glance album, second single “Diggin’ A Ditch” presents a largely unexplored side of Walker. So of course he’s releasing a full-length cover of a lost Dave Matthews Band album.
Whether passionately stumping for Genesis or surreally flashing back to scenes from his Christian rock childhood, Walker comes across as a guy whose love for music is not constrained by anyone else’s idea of good taste. chicago guitarist and songwriter ryley walker recorded a song-by-song tribute to the lost dave matthews band album the lillywhite sessions which seems like a bit walker might throw out on his. One of the best parts about following Ryley Walker on Twitter is his ongoing, alternately earnest and deadpan unpacking of a lifetime’s worth of music fandom.
