	DMB - Lillywhite
		After the recordings were leaked to the Internet in late March, however, fans finally got their hands on The Lillywhite Sessions and heard what they had been missing.
		Where he had been relegated to the position of a rhythm guitarist on previous albums (Matthews has joked about Lillywhite's propensity for turning his guitar down until it was almost non-existent), he shoved his way to the front of the music with his dirty, grinding play on Everyday.
		On Sessions, however, he has yet to plug in, and his playing takes on a more muted, modest tone, setting the stage for Tinsley and Moore's texturing.

	The Lillywhite Sessions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	"The Summer So Far..."
		Calling The Lillywhite Sessions controversy "...the most compelling mini-drama of the Napster age," the article answers questions (and generates even more controversy) regarding the album's creation and its leakage onto the 'Net and features input from Steve Lillywhite himself.
		Flohr stated that DMB intends to release The Lillywhite Sessions songs in the future: "Down the line, the band will finish the record in the way it was intended to be finished," he said.
		Lillywhite says if it is going to happen, there is a significant amount of work left to be done.

		They started titling the CD, the Lillywhite Sessions, or the Summer So Far (which I just learned, I never heard it until the Rolling Stones Cover on them.) The Lillywhite Sessions were preferred to Everyday, and even I agreed although I felt that Everyday was not a complete loss.
		The problems with the Lillywhite Sessions, which were recognized in the remaking, were that Dave was hardly understandable and although the songs were great, they had a sadness about them.
		Such songs from the Lillywhite Sessions like JTR, Sweet Up and Down, Monkey Man, and the Kit Kat Jam was turned into a jam session instead of a song as to prove their still jamming roots.

		It bears a similar story to Smile, however when the Lillywhite Sessions were scrapped, peer-to-peer file sharing over the Internet was at its peak.
		The tracks that made it on to the bootleg were studio versions of material Dave Matthews Band played during their tour prior to recording.
		An Official Release the Lillywhite Recordings Campaign has appeared on the Web with “the goal of ensuring the band realizes the enormous demand and desire for the studio versions of the songs produced with Lillywhite, and with the hopes that they will at the very least simply consider possibly releasing the works.”

		With the mp3 controversy, the latter industry is being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century, and the big labels are being exposed for the anachronistic dinosaurs they really are.
		Napster has since blocked the songs, but a search under “Lillywhite Sessions” on the Gnutella network quickly reveals their widespread availability.
		If The Lillywhite Sessions had been released instead, people would be saying, “Oh well, more of the same.” The Lillywhite Sessions harken to the passionate songwriting of Under the Table and Dreaming, and not the innovation of Beyond These Crowded Streets.

		Few topics elicit more discussion among DMB aficionados than the so-called Lillywhite Sessions -- a group of songs the band recorded with producer Steve Lillywhite just prior to the pop blockbuster Everyday, only to abandon the project when it was on the verge of completion.
		After all, Steve Lillywhite is hardly Steve Albini, and while the initial versions of these songs were raw, it was as much because they were not quite finished as they were Matthews exposing his soul.
		Although the album busted stuff formerly known as the lillywhite session were "abandoned" for many years, The bootleg versions of the songs have been know to many "hard core" dmb fans.

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Everyday
		When the Dave Matthews Band set out to record a new studio album in spring 2000 with long-time producer Steve Lillywhite, it seems they had no particular goal in mind.
		It seems, because the tracks from those session - the now infamous Lillywhite sessions, available at a Napster clone near you - sounded like a virtual continuation of their previous effort, 1998's Before These Crowded Streets.
		The Lillywhite sessions, however, sound dangerously like a dead end, a set that has it moments of spectacular musicianship, but lacks restraint in terms of both the soloing and the lyrics (which are dark and cryptic even for a guy who regularly sings about lying in his grave).

		Their longtime producer, Steve Lillywhite, was fired and "Everyday" was produced to appease the masses.
		But then, the songs from those infamous "Lillywhite Sessions" were leaked on the internet in studio quality.
		The band's decision to release the work on "Busted Stuff" is a vindication for Lillywhite, who may not have made blockbuster hits in the Lillywhite Sessions, but made damn good music.

		When the band started recording a new album in 2000 with long-time producer Steve Lillywhite, those sessions were scrapped after a record label rep reportedly said they weren't up to snuff.
		After the initial Lillywhite sessions were leaked to the Internet -- and got a better response than Everyday -- Matthews went back to the material and reworked it for last year's Busted Stuff.
		The recording project that didn't go so well was the Lillywhite Sessions but there was good music there but we just never got it to a point of completion.

	The Strand - The Different Shades of Lillywhite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A year and a half ago, there was a little controversy surrounding the Dave Matthews Band and their decision to bail on long-time producer Steve Lillywhite (known for his work with U2) and start anew with producer Glen Ballard (known for his work with Michael Jackson).
		DMB took it upon themselves to return to the studio earlier this year and "complete" the songs from the Lillywhite Sessions, and the final product is the aptly titled Busted Stuff.
		But when it's just Duritz, with Lillywhite dabbling the kind of subtle production that the Counting Crows haven't received since their first album, the results are great; songs like Goodnight L.A. and Miami attest to this.

		Lillywhite said that some of the songs were closer to demos, but that a handful of the songs were almost complete.

	curlio.com: Internet rescues scrapped album
		The studio album that wasn't meant to be finally is. On the eve of a national tour of North American stadiums, Dave Matthews' "The Lillywhite Sessions" surfaced on the Internet, apparently without the singer's authorization, and has become something of a cause celebre among Matthews aficionados.
		Not only is "The Lillywhite Sessions" better than "Everyday," which has already sold 2 million copies, it's the best Matthews album ever.
		If the quote is accurate, it shows once again how myopic and bottom-line conscious the record industry has become, because on "The Lillywhite Sessions" the Dave Matthews Band has never sounded like more of a band.

	Dave Matthews Band \| Everyday \| Lillywhite Sessions : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		At the very least, serious DMB devotees know that ''The Lillywhite Sessions'' is the name given by fans to the disc that the group had nearly finished recording last year with longtime producer Steve Lillywhite before they decided to put the whole project on the shelf.
		Go to one of the heavily trafficked DMB message boards like the Dave Matthews Band Mailing List or Nancies.org, and you'll find no shortage of posts claiming that this album is superior to ''Everyday,'' this year's multiplatinum, authorized DMB release.
		The subject matter of ''Lillywhite'' is admittedly darker -- many of the songs have to do with death, depression, and the absence of God -- but fans think it adheres more closely to the band's trademark sound.

		The odd history of "lost" classics has been brought into the spotlight by the controversy surrounding "The Lillywhite Sessions" by the Dave Matthews Band.
		They were thrilled when "The Lillywhite Sessions" began to surface on the Net in March--the album that had been shelved not only sounded like the "real" DMB, but many thought it was the group's strongest recording ever.
		In addition to being much more of a collaborative band effort (though with a minimum of the traditional instrumental wankery), "The Lillywhite Sessions" find Matthews digging much deeper lyrically than his usual Hallmark card banalities.

	Slant Magazine - Music Review: Dave Matthews Band: Busted Stuff
		The now-infamous recordings that were left in its wake (produced by longtime collaborator and studio veteran Steve Lillywhite and aptly dubbed "The Lillywhite Sessions") were leaked wide on the Internet and became somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon.
		Nine tracks from "The Lillywhite Sessions" have been joined with two new tracks, the bright "You Never Know," which features the band's signature off-kilter time-signatures, and the album's first single, "Where Are You Going," to form Busted Stuff.
		In addition, arrangements of the other Lillywhite tunes have been pared down, a few verses have been switched around ("Big Eyed Fish") and Matthews' performances are notably less playful ("Busted Stuff").

	Dave Matthews Band
		Some believe the band was unhappy with the atmosphere of the songs and frustrated with Lillywhite's often perfectionist style of production, while others believe Lillywhite was made into a scapegoat for the band's lack of professionalism during the recording sessions.
		Its poppy, slick sound (including Dave Matthews' first ever recording sessions on electric guitar) was a great departure from the band's previous work and the complete antithesis of the songs recorded with Lillywhite.
		Produced by Stephen Harris, the recording engineer under Lillywhite on previous albums, the resulting CD provided new treatments of much of the ''Lillywhite Sessions'' material, along with newly written songs "You Never Know" and the hit single "Where Are You Going?".

	Blender :: guide
		While The Lillywhite Sessions circulated via the Internet, the band and producer Glen Ballard concocted upbeat, elaborately layered pop for 2001’s Everyday.
		But the Lillywhite songs stayed in DMB set lists, and on Busted Stuff, Matthews has rerecorded nine of them, adding two new ones for good measure.
		The Lillywhite songs are mostly improved here: They’re less tentative, with springier grooves and more polished yet still intimate vocals.

	The HooK: DMBEAT- At last: The Stuff of both worlds
		The Stuff is finally here: the missing link, the would-be other side of the rainbow that left off with 1998's Before These Crowded Streets, the antidote to all those who found Everyday a shameless cop-out, and the fifth (RCA) studio album that-- according to the devout-- should have been the fourth.
		Fans believe it's a mature return to Matthews' familiar milieu, picking the best of Lillywhite with soulful vocals while letting the band spread the musical wings that were downplayed on Everyday.
		And the Lillywhite Sessions perhaps the most "celebrated leak since the Pentagon Papers," as Entertainment Weekly puts it and a retooled, rearranged, and, in some cases, rewritten, Busted Stuff, received the same treatment, available online a full week before its official release.
