This is by far the best release by the bluesy-funky rock band Blues Traveler. Most casual listeners will easily recognize the smash hit "Run Around" from the radio, but the real gems are pretty much the rest of the songs on the cd. Maybe its me, maybe its the fact that the afore-mentioned song was way over played on the air in the mid-90's, I don't know, but I've always loved the "B-side" of this cd way more than the beginning. That said, its my favorite by the band, and easily their best...followed closely by "Travelers & Thieves" which I have also reviewed if you'd like to check that out too. If you like bluesy-rock, harmonica, good steady percussion then you should enjoy this cd, especially since the price is right (most copies go for $2 or less now!).Read full review
This album is by far the most popular of Blues Traveler's many albums. I remember my brother buying this album when it first came out way back in 1994. I was only 7! But with unforgettable songs like Run-Arund, Hook, and Brother John, it's no surprise this album is still very popular. When I started building up my music library, I knew I had to have some Blues Traveler. So far, I've purchased 5 of their albums on eBay, and they're all fantastic. But, if you're a Blues Traveler newbie, I'd strongly recommend Blues Traveler Four as an excellent jumping-off point. Blues Traveler Four is a great example of 90's era rock with some funky jazz and, in fact, blues thrown into the mix. Lead vocalist and harmonica player John Popper is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the art of song-writing and harmonica-playing. I promise you'll find yourself asking how a harmonica can make such amazing sounds, especially on Track 7- Crash & Burn. Blues Traveler has an incredibly unique sound that I would recommend to anyone with ears! There aren't many artist's out there with the kind of emotion and talent you'll find in Blues Traveler.Read full review
Enjoying at home and in my truck....! Blues Traveler is a rock band, formed in Princeton, New Jersey in 1987. The band's music covers a variety of genres, including blues rock, psychedelic rock, folk rock, soul, and Southern rock. They are known for extensive use of segues in their live performances, and were considered a key part of the re-emerging jam band scene of the 1990s, spearheading the H.O.R.D.E. touring music festival. Currently, the group comprises singer and harmonica player John Popper, guitarist Chan Kinchla, drummer Brendan Hill, bassist Tad Kinchla and keyboardist Ben Wilson. Tad Kinchla and Ben Wilson joined the band following the death of original bassist Bobby Sheehan in 1999.
This cd is good and in my oppinion Blues Traveler's best. John Popper has great skills. If you like a great harmonica this man can play! Not to mention a good singers voice as well. This cd has a foot-stomping beat so try it, you may like it!
I have been a fan of Blues Traveler for some time. This being my favorite cd. THe music is great to listen to, regardless of your mood. The music is sweet and has a great beat for any mood. If you like great blues music and some excellnt vocals/harmonica playing check this cd out.
