The band’s second LP, Frozen Altars, recalls the low-key moments of early-70s “Canterbury sound” prog outfits such as Soft Machine and Egg, with a bit of Nico-style chilliness.

As a previous press release put it: “When he was a kid growing up in the Rust Belt suburbs of Chicago, worlds away from the city’s cultural stronghold, the Dave Matthews Band taught him how to play and love music.” The album features Walker’s frequent collaborators Andrew Scott Young and Ryan Jewell.Gossip Wolf first heard about local psych trio Moonrises via guitarist Steve Krakow, aka Plastic Crimewave (who creates the Secret History of Chicago Music for the Reader), but what keeps us coming back are the sublime vocals and oversaturated organ sound of Libby Ramer. Walker, however, grew up listening to them. The Lillywhite Sessions was never officially released, but most of its songs were reworked (sometimes with new lyrics) and re-recorded with producer Stephen Harris for the band’s 2002 album Busted Stuff.ĭave Mathews Band have been very successful, all but their first two albums have debuted at #1 on the Billboard album charts, but they aren’t what you would call a cool band, or at least one that’s been all that embraced by indie rock fans and musicians.
The Lillywhite Sessions leaked to the Internet soon after Everyday‘s release, in the days of Napster, and some fans preferred it to Everyday. The band’s label rejected the album and Matthews instead teamed with producer Glen Ballard to write a new album, which only took them 10 days to write and resulted in 2001’s Everyday. Dave Matthews Band recorded the original The Lillywhite Sessions in 19 with producer Steve Lillywhite, as the follow-up to 1998’s Before These Crowded Streets. Previously Walker shared The Lillywhite Sessions’ first two singles: “Busted Stuff” (which was one of our Songs of the Week) and “Diggin’ a Ditch.” Walker released another great new 2018 album, Deafman Glance, only back in May via Dead Oceans. The Lillywhite Sessions was released by Dead Oceans and the above photo of Walker and Matthews is from the label’s Instagram page. Wouldn’t it be funny if The Lilywhite Sessions ended up becoming Walker’s best selling album, thanks mainly to sales from Dave Matthews Band fans? Check out Matthew’s post below. If you didn’t know what inspired it, it wouldn’t matter. Then I heard the words… It’s much more than a cover record. Matthews wrote: “The first time I heard Ryley’s cover of the Lilywhite Sessions, I was in a record store. Now Matthews has taken his approval even further and in a Facebook post he has written his approval of Walker’s covers album. Earlier this month Walker actually hung out with Dave Matthews Band when they were both playing Montreal on the same night.

Walker wasn’t doing it ironically, he was genuinely a Dave Matthews fan in his youth, and his version also took the songs in interesting new directions, such as free jazz. Last month Ryley Walker released The Lillywhite Sessions, in which he took an unreleased Dave Matthews Band album from 2001 and covered it track-for-track.
