Heard an interview about the name of the album and Dave said that the "big whiskey" part was about a bum that wanted a drink and he gave him a 20 spot and he said that will get him a "big whiskey"

The Groo Grux part is a nickname for the late great LeRoi Moore

Thanks WCI

My bad it was Stefan the bassist

Big Whiskey, according to Dave Matthews, comes from a drunk guy in New Orleans asking for money to buy "a big whiskey." Stefan gave him a 20, much to his celebration, and Rashawn suggested it as a title, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.

If you like the band at all it is the best they have done in 10 years

Just saw them twice in Pitt 2 weekends ago and the shows were off the hook
