Dave Matthews Some Devil Rock Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Rock group Dave Matthews have released their CD entitled Some Devil. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Dave Matthews fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Some Devil their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.

Dave Matthews have been a super stars in the Rock genre for quite some time now and Some Devil is an excellent illustration as to why.

Some Devil is a nicely varied, mix of 14 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

I’m of the opinion that Some Devil is certainly some of this groups best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Rock fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While the entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 - So Darn Lucky, track 9 - An' Another Thing, and track 14 - Gravedigger - (acoustic version).

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Dodo. Good stuff!
