The dB's are back. This week, the legendary band releases Falling off the Sky. It's their first studio album in more than 30 years. The dBs began life in the late 70s in New York after growing up in Winston Salem. After several critically acclaimed records, members of the band went their separate ways -- but the music they recorded continued to influence fellow musicians. Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple are the primary songwriters in the band, and they joined Eric Hodge in the studio along with drummer Will Rigby, who also contributes a song to the new record.
