My favorite Blues Traveler song is the one where John Popper plays the shit out of the harmonica

[jacobwalden]

I understand the irony of the song and how he made a popular song by doing exactly what he criticizes other popular songs of doing. But it does help that he could sing an owner’s manual and make it sound beautiful. Popper is so talented

Ironically, I always liked this song even though I didn't know the lyrics. The hook always brought me back.

[norezenable]

Howard Stern: I could listen to that all day.

Blues Traveler: Yeah that's the point.

RIP BOBBY, such an underrated bass player, guy was a fucking animal

[jeffharrison]

I absolutely love Mr John Popper.He is definitely the Eddie Van Halen of the harmonica.

[FrostyKane-xXx]

Who’s watching in 2021 after randomly hearing an old Blues Traveler song on the radio and reflecting on how awesome & underrated John Popper was? 😲

This song can't be beaten. That music and that singer r just 10/10.

[Jay-uxeo]

The way he plays the harmonica is astronomica

[drewm]

Dude has hot balloons for lungs. Always loved blues travelers shout out blues brothers

[Westernerd]

I remember walking down the street in 1991 in "the village" and they were absolutely blowin' up a little bar. That was my last time in NYC.

[michealspencer]

BLEW THE ROOF OFF, ABSOLUTELY ASTRONIMICAL.LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT

[gilvan]

Still an amazing song after all these years.

[scottbickerton]

The 90s were fun times. Back then we thought the future would be cool. How wrong we were...

[ikedewinter]

Never seen howard smile like that this song is gold

[johnleonard]

The world needs some more artists like these guys! Couldn't ask for any better.
