If there isn’t a new Dave Matthews Band album being recorded in 2012 with Steve Lillywhite producing, then us fans are reading far too deep into the tweets.

The tweets alone are nothing to write blog about… but my grapevine was also buzzing about the January 2012 studio sessions with Lillywhite before I noticed the tweets. Though I try not to post rumors on this site, seemingly enough info is out there to place Dave Matthews Band in the studio with Steve Lillywhite next week.
The sessions may just be scheduled to see if their chemistry re-ignites. In March of 2010, Dave mentioned that he is open to working with Lillywhite again. Next week perhaps?

Before seeing this video I had never seen Carter Beauford playing guitar (or any other non-percussion instrument). Here we see the master working on Why I Am with “Big Whiskey” producer Rob Cavallo. Another highlight from this short clip is from a different segment where Dave humbly asks the room “Why can’t I play the guitar anymore?” See the rest in this hysterical video.
