I just heard the first single off the Dave Matthews Band’s newest album, Stand Up. The single is titled “American Baby.” It’s built around a plucked violin riff, and for the most part, is pretty straight-ahead. Nothing fancy from Carter on the drums. LeRoi (saxophone) doesn’t appear until just before the end of the song, but the song does lend itself to solos and improvisation at the end. We’ll see what they end up doing with it live. The album will be released on May 10th. If you can’t wait that long, the third installment of their DMBLIVE series will be released on Thursday (available only through DMB’s website).
