Recording

Working between tours at studios in Seattle, Los Angeles and Charlottesville, Dave Matthews Band chose to record with several different producers, including John Alagia, Mark Batson, Rob Cavallo and Rob Evans. [9]

Nine of the 14 tracks on Come Tomorrow were played live prior to the official album announcement on April 25, 2018. "Do You Remember" was debuted at Farm Aid in 2017, [10] "Again and Again" appeared on DMB setlists in 2016 as "Bob Law", [11] "Samurai Cop" had been a regular at Dave solo, Dave & Tim acoustic and full band shows since 2016, [12] "Here on Out" was played live just once before the announcement and that came on the Seasons of Cuba PBS-televised special in 2016 with Dave being backed by the Chamber Orchestra of Havana. [13] The band had regularly featured "Black and Blue Bird" and "Virginia in the Rain" at shows since 2015. [14]

The longest-tenured songs on the album are "Can't Stop" and "Idea of You", both of which had been in the band's rotation since 2006. [15] It was originally reported that "Come On Come On" was written in 2008, at an early session of the band's recording of Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King , but the October 2018 leak of "The Batson Sessions" revealed that the song (previously titled "Come On") was virtually unchanged from an April 2006 session with Mark Batson. An extended version of "bkdkdkdd" was previously performed live under the title "Be Yourself".

The cover art for the album was illustrated by Béatrice Coron. [9]
