Last month, Ryley Walker released The Lillywhite Sessions, his full-album cover of the Dave Matthews Band bootleg of the same name. Shortly after that, Walker actually hung out with the band. (“I consider them my deepest homies,” he wrote at the time. “My head hurts!!”) Now, Dave Matthews has shared a public statement of praise for Walker’s record.
In a Facebook post, Dave writes, “The first time I heard Ryley’s cover of The Lillywhite Sessions, I was in a record store. I didn’t recognize it. Then I heard the words… It’s much more than a cover record. It’s all its own.” He concludes by stating that he now owns everything Ryley Walker has ever released.
