Episode 17: Steve Lillywhite on Before These Crowded Streets (Part 2)

Records & Riffs

Before These Crowded Streets was a game-changer for DMB. The band never made another record like it.

In this episode, Lillywhite talks with host Matt Norlander not just about the intricate details of each song, but gets into the working and musicianship dynamic of every member of the band. He opens up about how he got the best out of Boyd Tinsley in the studio, his appreciation for Stefan Lessard’s approach to the bass, and what made LeRoi Moore a beautiful but complicated person.

Norlander also wrote a piece for Relix Magazine about the album.
