The Dave Matthews Band has released “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,” an album that the Chicago Sun-Times says “almost didn’t happen.”

The Dave Matthews Band lost its saxophonist LeRoi Moore last year when Moore died after an ATV accident. Perhaps this event compelled the Dave Matthews Band to release “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,” which was named in honor of Moore.

But continue they did, and the Dave Matthews Band released its seventh studio album, “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,” to rave reviews. Many music critics, aside from DeRogatis, are calling it the band’s best.
