The Dave Matthews Band is getting ready to release theirnew studio album on June 2, 2009. The title of the album is Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King. I’m really liking the sound of this so far, sounds like there is some funk and groove influence on this song.

The official fan club for Dave Matthews band, The Warehouse, just announced the new Dave Matthews Band album title will be Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King.

A portion of the album title was first twittered by Dave this past Sunday the 22nd: “…still here dancing with the Groo Grux King. We’ll be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing. When I get to the end, I’m gonna end..”

Dave Matthews’ tweets have ranged from serious to the absurd. Seven hours after uttering the new title name he tweeted: “This sad and joyful city is a broken and healing city. There are always a bad apple or two. But NOLA has stolen my heart. No place like it.”

Yet more recently Dave replied to a ‘follower’: “I will build a bat house against the side of my house. A huge bat house. Then at night I will watch them pour into the air.”

The complete title, Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King stands in stark contrast to the previous three albums, Stand Up, Busted Stuff and Everyday. However, an odd name will not necessarily get in the way of a hugely successful album.

Tim Reynolds is going to have his hands full juggling his career this year — and it’s a task most musicians would die for.

The master guitarist is out promoting his band TR3 and its new CD, Radiance.

But wait, it gets better — Reynolds, a longtime associate and on-stage partner of Dave Matthews, was just hired by the Dave Matthews Band to serve as a featured guitarist for the multi-platinum group.

Reynolds took time off from working on DMB’s upcoming album in New Orleans to talk to the Colorado Daily.

“It’s been pretty nice in New Orleans,” Reynolds said. “It’s just great that I have the opportunity to wake up every day and get inspired by new music that comes my way.

“It just makes me want to keep trying harder as a musician. That’s why I created my band TR3. It’s a way to try out new musical ideas.”
