Last week we brought you an interview with the Dave Matthews Band. The boss and his buds explained a bit about their new Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. It’s their tribute to fallen bandmate LeRoi Moore, who passed away last year.

Here are some more clips from that interview. The one above explains how the album title, which Dave says sounds like “a fairy tale for grown-ups,” came about. New Orleans has more than a little to do with it.

After the jump you can learn how Dave believes there’s no drummer finer than the DMB’s Carter Beauford.

Rolling Stone and other mags are saying that everything is right with the Dave Matthews Band‘s new CD, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King . It’s a nod to LeRoi Moore, the longtime DMB saxophonist who died from injuries suffered in a an ATV accident at his Virginia home last year. The album is released tomorrow, June 2. VH1 News connected with the singer for a chat about the disc – check above. We’ll post some more clips from interview this week. The DMB is going to spend the summer in their typical way: rocking venue after venue around the country.
