Everyday is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Dave Matthews Band. It was released on February 27, 2001 through RCA Records. It is the band's first album to be produced by Glen Ballard, who also co-wrote all twelve of the album's songs with guitarist and vocalist Dave Matthews. The album marked a shift in the band's sound, prominently featuring electric guitar and concise pop arrangements.

Contents

Everyday was a commercial success, becoming the band's second number one album in the US. Three singles were released ("I Did It", "The Space Between", and "Everyday"), with "The Space Between" becoming the band's first top 40 hit in the US. Reviews were mixed to positive; some critics disliked the band's change in sound while others welcomed the more accessible material.

Background

In the summer of 2000, the band began sessions with longtime producer Steve Lillywhite for a new album. [2] However, the dark nature of the recordings combined with a feeling of stagnation by the band members led to the sessions being abandoned. Matthews instead flew to Los Angeles to meet with Ballard with the intention of finishing the new material. Instead, Matthews and Ballard began a productive writing partnership that resulted in an album's worth of new songs in less than two weeks. [3] This material ended up being included on Everyday instead, while most of the songs originally recorded with Lillywhite were re-recorded for Busted Stuff in 2002.
