With such a devoted following, it only makes sense that the Dave Matthews Band would seek to get fans involved in making their next video. The group is asking fans to submit pictures and film that will eventually be edited into a music video for "Mercy."

In addition to the video, one fan will win a trip to Mountainview, California, to attend the last show on the group's summer tour September 9th at the Shoreline Ampitheatre. "Mercy" is on the band's upcoming album Away From The World, set for release September 11th. To contribute photography or video to the project, or to enter for a chance at the trip, visit Dave Matthews Band's website.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
