"So Much To Say" won a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rock
Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. CRASH was nominated for
a 1997 Grammy for Best Rock Album, and "Too Much" was
nominated for Best Rock Song. "Crash Into Me" was
nominated for 1998 Grammys for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or
Group With Vocal and Best Rock Song.
What is it about The Dave Matthews Band that makes them so
eclectic yet cohesive, so conventionally unconventional? The
answer may lie in Matthews' rangy, distinctive voice and his
capable acoustic-guitar work, which keeps the music centered as
the band pulls from a myriad of musical styles. In fact, the
music often seems to mimic his singing, following him from gruff
and gravelly to pleading and sweet.
The players, clearly comfortable with each other, shift
effortlessly through funk, rock, jazz and folk, much as on their
1994 breakthrough, UNDER THE TABLE AND DREAMING. Like that one,
CRASH is rich and heavy with complex textures and rhythm, and
accessible all the same.
