WORTH CONSUMING!
I first heard two songs by The Dave Matthews Band as B-side filler on a Grateful Dead tape a friend of mine had lent me. I pretty much scorn the Grateful Dead, but dug the DMB. I was in Charlottesville, VA (where they are from) a few months later and stopped into a small record store there, where I bought this album. The checkout clerk said to me, “These guys, they’re gonna be real famous soon. I heard they just signed a record deal with a big recording company!”
True to word, about a year later, DMB released their first big album, the mania started, and you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing them. . . .
