Some Devil is the only solo studio album by musician Dave Matthews. It was released on September 23, 2003 on RCA Records. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA, signifying over a million copies sold. The album features several guest musicians, including long-time Dave Matthews Band collaborator guitarist Tim Reynolds and Phish frontman and guitarist Trey Anastasio. The album's first single, "Gravedigger", won a Grammy Award in 2004. Some Devil was recorded at Studio Litho in Seattle, Washington, and produced by Stephen Harris, who had previously worked with the Dave Matthews Band on their 2002 album Busted Stuff.
Of the album, Matthews said: "I hadn't really been thinking about doing a solo album until I had a handful of songs that didn't really fit with the band, so I started with those and it just grew into a full record," Matthews said. "I kind of thought it'd be fun to put it out."
Many fans, while at first skeptical of Matthews' desire to release a solo album, quickly praised his efforts. The album is noted for its moodier tone and the fresh direction shown in Matthews' songwriting.
Since 2003, Matthews has performed Some Devil material in concert with a group coined Dave Matthews & Friends, which consisted mainly of musicians that appear on the album. He has also played album material solo and with long-time acoustic duo partner Tim Reynolds. During the 2008 summer tour, Dave Matthews Band played "Gravedigger" and "So Damn Lucky" regularly, with "Stay or Leave" following suit during the 2009 summer tour.
The song "Some Devil" featured in the House episode "Love Hurts", the Freeform show Pretty Little Liars, and the closing credits to the 2003 film 21 Grams. Finally, the song "So Damn Lucky" is in The CW show Privileged.
The limited edition version of the album includes a 7-track bonus CD featuring songs from the Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds 2003 tour. These are Grey Street (4-3-03, Elliott Hall of Music, Purdue University); When the World Ends (3-28-03, Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum); Jimi Thing (3-22-03, Radio City Music Hall); Stay or Leave (4-3-03, Elliott Hall of Music, Purdue University); Seek up (3-20-03, Ryan Center, University of Rhode Island); Crush (3-28-03, Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum) and Drive In Drive Out (3-20-03, Ryan Center, University of Rhode Island).
