Re: Podcast: The Lillywhite Sessions, with Steve Lillywhite (Part 2) - Records & Riff
This is a treat.
I was really coming into DMB fandom in 2000-2001. Even as a casual fan, I was immediately underwhelmed with Everyday. I remember downloading LS before a family trip, and on the 4 hour car ride just playing it on repeat. To my ears, Bartender was the best thing they'd ever done (maybe it still is). Sweet Up and Down and the JTR jam were earworms.
DMB will always be one of my favorites, but their legacy could have been even richer. LS would have made 4 dynamite studio albums in a row, but instead we've seen 20+ years of haphazard albums never capturing just how good they are. If scrapping this album ultimately gave the band another lease on life, then it was worth it. But, this whole affair was the first major blunder for a band that was batting 1.000 up to that point.
