About Matchbox Twenty
Mad season by Matchbox Twenty, the long-awaited second Melisma/Lava/Atlantic
release from Matchbox Twenty, stands as a great leap forward for one
of today's most compelling rock n' roll groups. Following the stunning
success of their explosive 1996 Lava/Atlantic debut, "YOURSELF OR
SOMEONE LIKE YOU," this soul-infused collection of modern classics
amply demonstrates the band's remarkably expressive range and power.
From the potent and powerful pop of "Black & White People" to the
turbulent "Angry" and "You Won't Be Mine," each of the new album's
thirteen tracks is a showcase for the dynamic, melodic Matchbox Twenty
sound, as well as the singular mark of triple Grammy-winner Rob
Thomas's intimate yet universal songwriting.
Having spent over 600 nights on the road since the release of their
explosive 1996 Melisma/Lava/Atlantic debut, "YOURSELF OR SOMEONE LIKE
YOU," Matchbox Twenty has grown into a creative musical machine firing
on all cylinders. Thomas?s rich vocals have ripened in both strength
and maturity, as have Kyle Cook and Adam Gaynor's heartfelt harmonies
and chiming twin guitar arrangements. Binding these elements together
is the inventive, propulsive rhythm section of bassist Brian Yale and
drummer Paul Doucette.
"When we made our first record, we hadn't really been a band for very
long," Thomas says.? We hadn't had any really good fights, we hadn't
had any really good laughs, we hadn't done much of anything together.
But now, so much has happened to us that we've formed a character
within ourselves. So this is really the first time we're saying, 'This
is Matchbox Twenty making a record,' because now Matchbox Twenty is
its own entity. This is the first one where we can really say, this is
our sound."
Recorded in Atlanta and Nashville during the second half of 1999, "mad
season by Matchbox Twenty" was produced by dual Grammy Award-winner
Matt Serletic ("Record of the Year"/"Album of the Year"), the man
behind the board for "YOURSELF OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU.? Late last year,
that album - a Billboard Top Five smash - earned the RIAA's
prestigious Diamond Award, marking certified U.S. sales in excess of
10 million units and adding Matchbox Twenty's name to a very elite
roster of artists who have reached this major career milestone.
"It was freakish," says Thomas of the group's incredible achievement.?
You can't compete with it and you can't recreate it, so we were in a
good position. All we had to worry about was making a great record."

"Mad season by Matchbox Twenty" highlights the continuing
development of Thomas?s gifts as a writer, with songs that focus on
the binding elements of our increasingly unconnected world. Where many
sophomore records reflect an artist's newly isolated existence - with
songs either telling of bus windows and endless highways, of the
terrible traumas of fame and fortune - here Thomas spins poignant
stories of love and loss, of life and how to live it.
"Your career is just one aspect of who you are," Thomas notes. ?Most
of the things I write about are still basic emotions. If you sell a
billion records, and the only thing you can come up with to write
about is selling a billion records, then you're probably a pretty
shallow person. There has to be something else in your life that you
can draw on other than 'I'm rich and famous.'"
Thomas was recently honored with three Grammy Awards for "Smooth," his
1999 chart-topping collaboration with Carlos Santana. The track earned
him "Song of the Year" honors; the "Record of the Year" trophy (along
with Santana, producer Matt Serletic, and engineer/mixer David Thoener);
and the "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals" award, which he shared
with Santana. Thomas?s hat trick was the second-highest tally of the
42nd Annual Grammy Awards, following Santana himself with eight.
"I just fell bass-ackwards into luck again," says Rob.? Everything
about 'Smooth' has been so special and so beautiful. We were taking
our time making 'mad season,' so 'Smooth' became this really good
bridge. We needed a break, and it kept us from the 'Where Are They
Now?' file."
Thomas - who won in every category in which he was nominated - had
previously earned a Grammy nomination for Matchbox Twenty's hit
single, "Push," which received a 1998 nod in the "Best Rock
Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal" category. Among his other
honors, Thomas received the 1999 "Pop Songwriter of the Year" award
from the performing rights organization BMI. He was recognized for
penning three songs on the year's most-performed songs list, and
shared the "Pop Songwriter of the Year" title with Mariah Carey,
Shania Twain, and Sarah McLachlan. In addition, BMI presented three
tracks from "YOURSELF OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU" - "3am," "Real World," and
"Push" (previously awarded for being among 1998's most-performed
songs) - with their 1999 "Pop Award."
"Every great spirit lined up the right way so that we could be
afforded this success," Thomas says.? And I think we've taken that
success and done the right things with it. We don't take ourselves too
seriously, and we haven't forgotten what it's all about, which is the
music."
