Blues Traveler

Most of us know the band Blues Traveler for their 1995 hit song Run-Around:

or maybe a hit that followed it on the same album by the name of Hook:

but I asked myself what could I, as a huge music fan, what could I be missing just by listening to their hits. Well I found out, and as it turns out, I was missing something substantial. I really think that they are, and were, an underrated and forgotten band. If you remember watching the movie Blues Brothers 2000, Jon Popper, the lead singer and harmonica player of Blues Traveler was the one who asked Elwood Blues to listen to his band and then the movie cut to him singing and Elwood never showed. But I digress, there are so many songs I felt I had missed which were really good and had catchy riffs with catchy lyrics. Songs such as Canadian Rose and 100 Years both have great riffs and great lyrics.
Canadian Rose:

100 Years:

I didn't put together either of these videos. On a different note Blues Traveler, along with The Barenaked Ladies, are touring this summer, tour entitled Last Summer on Earth, their tour is actually bringing them to Sands in Bethlehem, Pa on August 17, and tickets are on sale now, just follow the first, and only, link on this article and click on the tour tab. The Barenaked Ladies are famous, of course, for One Week and little do some know they were the band who sang If I Had $1,000,000 which was used for a little while to promote the lottery, the lottery only changing the million dollars part for the actual amount the jackpot was up to that particular week.
