Some Devil - Dave Matthews - 2LP

Release Date: May 3, 2024

Dave Matthews' 2003 solo album Some Devil strips away the band's jam-rock expansiveness for intimate folk-rock songwriting built around acoustic guitar and restrained arrangements. The album captures Matthews as a songwriter first, with jazz-inflected chord progressions and vulnerable vocals creating a more personal sound than his group work.

Standout Tracks

• Gravedigger: The album's most beloved track, a haunting folk ballad about mortality and legacy
• Some Devil: The title track showcases Matthews' fingerpicking guitar style over a hypnotic groove

Mood: introspective, late night, contemplative, intimate
