Blues Traveler (album)

Blues Traveler, the eponymous debut album from Blues Traveler, was released on A&M Records in 1990. The album features "jam structures on basic blues riffs" focused around the harmonica playing of band leader John Popper, which writer William Ruhlmann said gave the band a more focused sound than that of the Grateful Dead.
