ROB SEZ: What a difference a year can make — at least in the sound of a band. At first, D a w e s seemed content with its Sound of Laurel Canyon tag. As late as the 2015 Morning Becomes Eclectic live set, you can still hear the vestiges of Joni M, Jackson B, and Warren Z — with a dollop of the Band thrown in for good measure. Sometimes, it sounds pretty groovy. But other times, it strikes my ears as dated and unoriginal. Fast forward to last year's impressive We're All Gonna Die album. The band chucked most of the warmed-over-So-Cal elements, kept the strong vocal harmonies and great rock foundation, and added some just-right 21st century flourishes. ALL PRAISES to KCRW and Kigonjiro for sharing these live sets with the world.
