Dave Matthews - Litho Blitho - Rare

INSTRUMENTAL - This instrumental number was supposedly recorded by Dave during the studio sessions for his "Some Devil" album. It was officially released on a compilation CD called, "Sounds of Wood and Steel, Vol. 3".

[@Bossmuzik]

The riff is exactly that of the Mother Father bridge/outro, and, in fact, the words "litho" and "blitho" mean mother and father in an African language. Also worth noting about the title is that it was recorded in Studio Litho, which is Stone Gossard's studio in Seattle ("litho" is a Greek root word for "stone").

I had this c.d. once upon a time. If had known it was rare I never would have loaned it out (it was never returned. what a shock, right?). It has some really great tracks but Dave's track really stands out (IMO)!

[@ccstarz19]

if you've ever heard the early live versions of mother father, this is essentially the outro

[@smcmu1len]

[@aditkasim]

well spoken.

[@bassthump1111]

@ser1988 very well spoken. Dave is, in fact, south african.

[@DaveMatthewsMusic]

@minisight2000 yes. Most of these riffs are improv, which proves talent to make up a song on the spot.

He said "pretty much everything"

[@gtoolejr]

Sounds like "For whom the bell tolls" in the beginning

[@buffalorapids]

insane itd be cool to see if they could put lyrics to this... but its even great on its own

[@oObadphishOo]

if you knew dave so well you would know his unpredictable style

[@JustinFriello]

Yes, it evolved from Mother Father.

[@sherzer4646]

Sounds like Carol of the Bells, Ray Conniff Singers version.
