Busted Stuff Grey Street Diggin' a Ditch Sweet Up and Down JTR Big Eyed Fish Grace Is Gone Captain After their tour, in Fall , a re-energized Matthews met up with producer Glenn Ballard, hit it off big-time, and the two of them proceeded to write a whole new album of songs in a very short time and generally without any input from the rest of the band.

So, the band then went back to the studio with Dave and Glenn's new batch of songs and proceeded to record what would be released as Everyday But when Everyday was released, although the album was a hit, long-time fans were not pleased with the overly slick, pop style of the new album.

Fans started clamoring for the release of the lost Lillywhite sessions and the songs from them that were featured on their last tour. Then in March , a full album of completed, but unmastered songs, that came to be known as The Lillywhite Sessions , was leaked onto the internet from one of the DMB fanbases and distributed via Napster ironically, the person leaking them thought he had full permission from Lillywhite to release them, but was the victim of a phony email trick.

Once they became available initially only as 96 and kbs mp3 files , there was a frenzy to get and listen to these 'lost' tracks, and the loyal fan base almost unanimously preferred these dark DMB tracks to the slick pop of Everyday. And although the album was still not officially released, it was beginning to achieve the popularity and mainstream support of a commercial release to the extent that this unreleased album was reviewed by Rolling Stone , Entertainment Weekly , and other mainstream media, and received generally better ratings and reviews than the officially released Everyday.

To compound this, during the following summer tour, DMB played songs from both Everyday and the unofficial Lillywhite sessions. More than ever, fans were screaming for the official release of the sessions, to no avail.

And this, basically, is where I came in. Like many others, DMB was one of my favorite bands at that time unfortunately, that changed drastically over the next decade as DMB began a downward spiral of poor decisions, creative lapses, uninspired musical directions, and lack of quality musical output , and I was outraged that there was this whole new album out there that was being talked about, but was not commercially available anywhere.

So, that was my incentive to go and get this music online, as I believe it was for many others that had never downloaded music from the internet before. Although I never hooked up to Napster due to all the controversy surrounding it at the time , I did get hooked up with LimeWire, which used the new Gnutella network one of many updated offshoots of the Napster concept, but with improvements making them less susceptible to legal shutdown for P2P sharing.

Although it was slow and a bit of a mess songs in low grades, mislabelled tracks, many interruptions, failures, etc. Anyway, once I was online in this way, I, of course found much more music of interest that was available, including unreleased demos, outtakes, and albums, and live concert recordings. But I was never interested in getting official commercially-available music for free online, and would not have gotten into online sharing at all for that purpose, but it was the ability of getting music that I could not get anywhere commercially that was most compelling, and it was here, and specifically because of this album, that I first started downloading music.

Sure, I had acquired many vinyl bootleg albums in the 70's and 80's, but they were generally expensive and not very good quality, and usually not worth the trouble. But now, with the discovery of so much new music that was not available commercially, it opened a whole new world.

So, this album has many fond memories for me, and started me on the path that eventually lead to this blog. I didn't stay on Limewire for very long don't like the idea and vulnerabilities of P2P , but it got me started, and lead to the other music blogs featuring live, unreleased, and bootleg albums, and eventually the filesharing services, and everything else.

Now, to continue the story of the album, although The Lillywhite Sessions never were officially released and remained a cherished unreleased album, insistence by fans for these songs eventually lead DMB to go back to the studio and re-record most of the Lillywhite songs 9 of the 12 songs were used, along with 2 new songs - songs not included were 'Sweet Up and Down', 'JTR', and 'Monkey Man' for the album that was released as Busted Stuff Although the sound and recording of the songs is definitely higher quality than the raw recordings on Lillywhite, and Busted Stuff is a fine album itself, most fans still prefer the original recorded versions found on the Lillywhite Sessions , and it remains a must-have album in the DMB collection.
