10 - Monkey Man - Dave Matthews Band DMB - Lillywhite Sessions - Track 10 - Monkey Man

(Monkey Man)The Lillywhite Sessions (LWS) is a collection of songs recorded by Dave Matthews Band in 1999 and 2000 and produced by Steve Lillywhite. The songs, recorded by the band as a follow-up to their 1998 album Before These Crowded Streets, were ultimately scrapped by the band. This is frequently attributed to pressure from RCA executives to wrap up the sessions and release an overdue (per contract), upbeat album (the LWS were considered on the darker side by RCA).[by whom?] Upon abandoning the album-in-progress, Dave Matthews was assigned to work with producer Glen Ballard who, in association with Matthews, wrote the album Everyday in just ten days. This contrasted with the band's prior style of writing, which included significant collaboration between the band members in the studio. The recordings later emerged on the internet shortly after the release of Everyday, and created controversy among fans as well as the music industry, which was early in its campaign to curb illegal file downloads. The Lillywhite Sessions were never released.

[spooninspoon]

I mean to this day I don't know how this was not considered Busted Stuff material... I mean I love that album but there is a few songs that have nothing on this gem and the Lilly white version are just so much more raw. I do however think that in the long run lillywhite sessions will finnaly be Officially released give it 10 years DMBS management will realize there is money in doing so
