Dave Matthews solo album to feature Phish’s Trey Anastasio
Dave Matthews’ first solo album, “Some Devil,” unites Matthews with Trey Anastasio, known to many a jam-band fan as the guitar wizard from Phish.
Anastasio performs on four tracks and co-wrote one song, Grey Blue Eyes,” with Matthews. Longtime Matthews collaborator Tim Reynolds appears on the album as well.
In a press statement, Matthews said that the album sprang from a few songs that just weren’t right for the full Dave Matthews Band treatment.
“The sessions grew into a sort of writing and recording experience—something I hadn’t really planned on,” Matthews said. “Eventually the tracks began to take on a personality and grew into an album. I’m really excited and I hope people like it.”
The 14-track collection is due in stores Sept. 23.
