The Lillywhite Sessions
''The Lillywhite Sessions'' (tLWS) is a collection of songs recorded by Dave Matthews Band in 1999 and 2000 and produced by Steve Lillywhite. The songs, recorded by the band as a follow-up to their 1998 album ''Before These Crowded Streets'', were ultimately scrapped by the band's label.

This contrasted with the band's prior style of writing, which included significant collaboration between the band members in the studio. The recordings later emerged on the Internet shortly after the release of ''Everyday,'' and created controversy among fans as well as the music industry, which was early in its campaign to curb illegal file downloads. ''The Lillywhite Sessions'' were never officially released, but most of the songs were later recorded for their 2002 album ''Busted Stuff''. ...
