With his insane harmonica skills you almost forget what an incredible singer he is, and he can STILL sing like that all these years later...

He sounds like a black dude if you've never seen him before lol.

The rabbit trail that led me here: Wifey and I were watching the history or England on Netflix when there was mention of Ann Boleyn. So it triggered my memory of this song lyrics. So I played it for my wife who apparently somehow does not remember hearing this song. Age gap perhaps 😜 (9.5yrs) Next day I played it for my 14 year old daughter who is an aspiring musician who is really advancing in her reading sheet music and piano skills. So now this song is well stuck in my head, so I listened to it again at work this morning, which prompted me to find any remixes, which led me here. Mind you I am a 46 year old who listens to Dubstep and bass music and electronica who goes to at least 2 EDM music festivals per year. Hearing songs like this reminds me to jump outside of my box from time to time.

The irony of the song is that everytime I listen to it I want it to have an inner truth or vast reflection... Nice hearing from you!

I have been lucky enough to see Blues Traveler 2x in concert. The first time was back in November1997 at Northrop Auditorium at the U of Minnesota and it's one of my most memorable concerts to this day. John Popper was sick as a dog that day, but refused to cancel the show. I was absolutely exhausted myself (taking full time classes, but also working as a bouncer 6 nights a week), but Blues Traveler played such an amazing show, it pulled me thru just as much as John Popper said the crowd's energy pulled him thru. The second time i saw them was in April 2013 after a Nats game in DC. It was the last concert I saw with my girlfriend before she passed away from cancer. I've seen thousands of live bands play, and forgotten almost all of them, but I still remember both Blues Traveler concerts to this day. I just wanted to say thank you to Blues Traveler. P.S. You have tons of great songs, but Hook always has a special place in my heart.

I found this song on a top 10 harp solos video on KZread, here in Mexico we never heard about this band. That's what I thank YT.

Been hooked since I first saw John & Chan play with _The World's Most Dangerous Band_ way back in the day. Rest in Love, 'Brooklyn' Bob.

This is such a classic piece of high genius... explains so much in todays world... John Popper and band... thank you and may those creative forces join you again so the world can benefit of more masterpieces... may you be healthy and strong... thanks again for sharing!

Popper 2024!

THE BOYS ARE BACKKKK !!! SAW THEM IN ALASKA IN 94 !!! #IMISSTHE90S #CombatPTSDCantBeatMe #HOOAH #MusicMyEscape

John Popper trolling reaction channels from way back before they existed. Love watching the swing and miss with the most honest lyric's ever sang right in front of them. Man is a genius. Thank you for this classic with legs.

This song plays probably 100 times a month in my house. It's one of my favorites mainly because of my honeymoon. My husband and I our best friends so for our honeymoon we road tripped (easy way to travel but stay away from people because of covid) and this some how became our song. Listening to it puts me right back in that moment of smoking pot in our car Black Jack in a Vegas parking garage while belting out 'Hook'. That my friends is how you fall in love. 💖 May not be your traditional love song but its ours. Lol

"This song plays probably 100 times a month." So you proved them right. I mean, yeah, it's a good song, I don't disagree, but you did the exact thing they said you would. The Hook brought you back. Bet you didn't think of that, did you?

This version is more beautiful than the original one. Thanks guys. I Love You. Bobby's would be very happy, and so am I.

This has to be one of the best songs ever written. The thought of the chord progression, the carefully crafted lyrics, the vocal solo (let's be real, that's what it is) just work in tandem so well. This has been my happy song for 20+ years, and that irony I find hilarious.

The chord progression is literally Canon in D. Granted this is one of the best ways its been used because of the lyrics and the use of dissenfected irony.

I mean, considering that this ballsy song is a massive fuck you to the recording industry, that in itself makes this an awesome song. He tells it like it is. John Popper is a genius, through and through.

The hook brings you back... Yes it does.

Still melts my ears, to this day~ I wish I could see them live once. Would make my year.

My all time favorite Blues Traveler song by far!

Brings back good memories, I still have Blues Traveler Four in CD and cassette I bought back in the mid 90's. I was in the 8th grade at the time!

This is still an absolute favorite that I listen to often 🤘😎

The amount of people in these comments that are still, nearly 30 years later, missing the message of this song and falling into the trap they laid for you is incredible.

Who is this trying to call themselves Blues Traveler freaking hacks.... April fools have loved this song from the first time that I heard it. big fan ty

That canon in D chord progression. I love it!

This song gets you...always brings you back

I remember them always being one of those bands I saw at Big Day Out and Music Midtown in ATL back in the late 90's early 00's. I can't remember half those bands but the hook brings me baaaack!!!

A forever classic!

My all time favorite song. LOVE BT

One of my greatest memories is the 1996 horde Fest what I saw Blues Traveler play and it's definitely on my bucket list to do again older wiser and maybe this time I won't get kicked in the head by a crowd Surfer I can still see the waffle from the Timberlands coming at my face

Ahhh yeahhhh!!! We back.😎

Thank you for these. As a young man, I collected your CDs from the start and loved them all (Travelers and Thieves is my favorite). I was lucky enough to see you at HORDE with Dave Matthews and Barenaked, even managed to almost break my neck catching a harmonica. Just wanted to say thank you for getting me through a lonely life with a lot of medical trials which are slowly closing in on me.

I remember watching a small jam band, Blues traveler play at places like the Variety Playhouse in little five points back when I was in high school. Must of been '92. Awesome fun. In ways I feel that this song, that popularity killed off a awesome band. But for some reason I come back to this song...

Many thanks for the fix... Missing July 4 on the rocks in a big way! Can just barely hear Ben in the mix but sounding as amazing as ever, here is to hoping that later '21 can get you back on the road for us all to celebrate and enjoy!!

Good to hear you posting some stuff again.

just heard Regarding Steven for the first time, love any song that's got my first name in it, the bonus is of course the harmonica which I have been playing for 38 years now

Equal treasure to the old recording. What a genius song and great voice.

Wonderful!! Come to Washington state!

Happy belated bday Popper! Sounds great guys!

Love this, Thank you-

Love you guys!

This song really holds deep meaning for me. I feel like at an minute God may reveal himself everytime the song plays. Also, I feel this song is very catchy.

Fantastic!

goddamn that harmonica....

Great job sounds great a good time for an update.

Great rerecording of a perfect song

I honestly don't know why, but I love this song

John gets it.

Saw y'all in Cincinnati in 2015. Loved it. Love this!

This is a big surprise

Yay! You're back!! You're back, right...?

Its just fresher recording? Something feels off slightly... the original was a masterpiece. Im so happy i grew up when i did (for music, not for surviving on a functional planet lol) we were so spiled and we didnt know it. I look/listen back down and therenis a touch of sadness hanging from my nostalgia beyond he typical(wish we coild go back) caise it feels like its getting harder for REAL music to matter.

Still great as first time I heard it

Oh yeah!!! F me this is greatness personified....

Even though it’s pretty obvious I just now realized why they play at the end of kingpin cause he’s got a hook for a hand 😎

lol wow I never thought of that

That one part "the hook brings you back" man its so catchy! Its like hes got a hook in me and those words keep pulling me back.... wonder if theres a name for that part of the song

Come to Central Texas sometime!!

I'm not sure if I like Hook or Carolina Blues best...I hope they can re-record that one. Then I can listen to both!

I guess the hook brought us back again.

Nice unplugged version. Just as good as the original!
