Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King gets Grammy nod

in Apolitical by

The Dave Matthews Band studio efforts have been rewarded. The Grammys nominated Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King for Album of the Year, and Best Rock Album. You may recall the Grammys’ infamous snub of LeRoi Moore, and the backlash they received from it.

Mooreā€™s death shocked his bandmates into a sudden sense of urgency: The group had spent nearly 18 months tinkering with ideas for a follow-up to its 2005 album, ā€œStand Up,ā€ when Moore died. The surviving musicians quickly finished ā€œBig Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,ā€ and itā€™s…
