Dave Matthews was the rhythm guitarist in the Jimmy Johnson band the night that blues bandleader took a musical drive down what would become the 1978 Tobacco Road album. He is not the same Dave Matthews of jam band and/or CTI jazz fame. More importantly for this Dave Matthews, he was not killed alongside several other bandmembers one night in the '80s when Johnson's touring bus crashed on the road. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide
