@@codyclaeys2008 well the album liner notes and the official sheet music song book both say dearie, which isn't entirely proof of anything but I feel good about my version being correct.

I want a video series of Britt doing dramatic reading of Blues Traveler lyrics. 😆

Mountains win again is, imo, their best song...one of my all time favorite songs

Never would've guessed a Blues Traveler reaction would bring out Britt's robot. 🤣

"Maybe I´m wrong" that´s included in the "Blues Brothers 2000" soundtrack is still one of my favorite songs

Love Blues Traveler. I would love to see your reaction to The Mountain Wins Again. My favorite song by them and I just know you’ll love it too since we’re besties and all. 😊

I was going to suggest the same song.💙

"As we seek, so shall we find"...Not the first time that phrase has been uttered, but still true today. Peace, Love!!

My depression is kicking my but tonight, you are so real and kind, love this group

You wanna talk about lead singers with great, unique voices, you should check out “Mr. Jones” by The Counting Crows

@amyaeschbach3581

Counting Crows was going to be my exact recommendation after this!! Mr. Jones is such a Bop you would love it. I was actually going to recommend “Round here.” My fav. But since you loved this beat, Mr. Jones would be perfect! 😍

No Woman No Cry sung live with the Blues Traveler and Bob Marley's son is a good song

Yup. The John Stewart Show. Great song! It was a hit in the '90s.

Such an underrated band/lead singer. LOVE them!

Think about it this way. His voice emulates his instrument. It's so common for musicians voices to take on qualities of their instrument. His quick runs and dissonant changes are exactly what you find in the harmonica. It just makes sense. He's the most underrated and unique artist in music.

I saw them, by accident, at the House of Blues years ago. Been a fan ever since.

I remember John Popper was brought out for the national anthem in the World Series and absolutely blew it away with that harp. There are levels to this and I've never heard his surpassed!

One of my favorite songs blues traveler "Carolina Blues"🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi Britt. Based off this reaction I think you would love Cake, the band. Short Skirt/Long Jacket is a good song to start with.

The theme song from roseanne was done by John popper the original show lasted 10 years might be why it sounds so familiar

When you re-listen to 'Hook' and read the lyrics, I'd recommend watching their official music video. It's very creative and spot-on!

I think I remember Popper referring to his lyrical style as "cramming", as in "how many more syllables can I cram in per line?". He actually pokes fun at himself about that tendency a few times in some of their songs :)

OMG! 1996 Atlanta Olympics T. The only Olympics I've been too.

I was there too as I live near ATL {Covington, home of the Dukes of Hazzzard} & we were at the concert venue when the bomb exploded

The mountain wins again is a great song u should check out

Vibrato is the term for the “sheepiness” you’re referring to

when he's "whoa-oa-oa" what he's doing with his voice is called "diphthong" fun fact.

This woman is so god damn beautiful!!!!!

I line your reaction! Rock on BT!!!

Yeah this show is back when Jon Stewart worked for MTV.

Love from Wisconsin doll ❤️ God bless 🙌

I never picked up on the lyrics, but I'm glad that you broke them down for us

This is one that the official video is worth viewing . Very creative and fun !

These guys actually did the theme song for the tv show "Roseanne" sitcom and they made an appearance on the show a few times. These guys are Awesome!!

Love this song he was in a movie Blues Brothers 2000 and he sang Maybe I'm Wrong. Great song too.

Yes, the song is about a girl John Popper knew. Chan Kinchla (the guitarist) once mentioned the song's an unrequited love song about John and our original bass player Felicia back in H.S. who he kind of had a crush on.

@drew3764

Ай бұрын

He also wrote a song called Felicia about the same girl.

20 years ago I witnessed John Popper improv/jam harmonica with a rap group on 6th St. in Austin, TX. That man is a genius. Not to mention the Canadian girl he met in my home state.

I saw these guys live in 2015 at the House of Blues, and they were awesome!!!

Check out their song "Look Around" It'll give you goosebumps.

Could you please do their song "But Anyway"? It's my favorite of theirs, and it they performed it at the end of the movie "Kingpin", with Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray

Their official video of this song was my introduction to these guys. It was a great video.

50 WAYS - PAUL SIMON. You won't regret it. ❤👌🤙

I never really knew the lyrics to this and I thought it was a song about growing up in a rough neighborhood. So I thought he was saying, "BARRIOOOOOOOOO."

I loved your little snake dance to the harmonica intro.

Yeah, Blues Traveler is one great group. Love seeing your beautiful self enjoying them so very much.

This song was written about their original bassist. He had a crush on her, and never could connect with her in that way.

Thanks so much!!

He did the 2nd Roseanne theme song in the 90's and was also in a episode

Love you momma

Superb album...

Saw them at Woodstock 94 they opened up one day in morning and he came out and played the star spangled banner too start .it was awesome ..they were great live..

I love you reading the lyrics, theatrical! & entertaining

SNAPS Love it and love your style

I can remember my brother calling to tell me about this incredible band he saw at a local club before they hit it big. Ahh, the days

Great Reaction 😊

The multiple harmonicas is simply to cover different keys. ‘But Anyway’ is a special song and as used brilliantly for the credits in ‘Kingpin’.

DEFINITELY check out the song HOOK by them. Its a song about music lyrics and how most people don't listen to them anyway. It's also one of the catchiest songs you'll ever hear as well.

Mountain Cry, Canadian Rose, Trina Magna and so many more amazing Blues Traveler songs you need to know.

Great song, excellent harmonica work.

Carolina Blues is my favorite! Look at you wearing my old skool Atlanta hat & a '96 Olympics shirt...represent my home ✌💖☮

Britt, have you heard the song Black Coffee by Humble Pie yet? There's a great clip on YT of a 1973 live performance on The Old Grey Whistle that I think you will really enjoy. Seriously. Great stuff! 😎

John Popper is so talented. Harmonica like no other. Great lyricist and he sings pretty good too. 😊

Can't wait for you to discover your next new thing,My attention span is LONGER.But you keep going girl.TFF.

So glad Popper lost weight. He would have been gone twenty years ago had he not. So glad he’s still with us.

You should react to blues traveler with ziggy Marley live covering no woman no cry by his father Bob Marley! It is one of the greatest live performances ever, EPIC

When you go back to listen to Hook again with the lyrics, watch the official video as it mirrors what is being said in the song.

Crash Burn is a quick fun one that highlights each member's talent. Album version preferably. There are so many live performances of BT that it's impossible to know what you're in for when you select one randomly.

If I remember correctly, they performed on an episode of Roseanne along with Dan Akroyd and John Goodman.

Britt, I think your next Blues Traveler song should be "Canadian Rose".

"The mountains win again" is sneakily the best song on that banger of an album.

Fabulous album. I play it often.

Greetings girl, I had an accident on the motorcycle. Greetings and good video from Uruguay, a hug.😊❤

I believe the song "run around" was about the lead singers crush on their former bass guitarist? I think I saw that somewhere or heard it somewhere. Dude had a crush on their bass guitarist and she friendzoned him.

Another 🔥 reaction

Britt you have to check out Stand from the same record Blues Traveler 4. Hold on tight 😁

"Poetry Bible class". I like that!

Felecia - and Canadian Rose - those should be your next two Blues Traveler songs!

"But Anyway" is their other big hit and a great one. It is featured in the histerical Woody Harrelson movie "Kingpin" that you would love

Hello from Galician, Spain

Welcome to poetry hour with Britt!!!

Poe would've loved your little mix-up

Harmonica? "Whammer Jammer" by J. Geils will get you moving. Oh, and "Once upon a midnight dreary" is from the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, not Shakespeare.

❤

If you like the harmonica, you would like to hear, "Wammer Jammer" by the J.Geils band. Oh. And if you want to see the way to really do a good reaction video, go to Lizzie the gangster hippie. Great way to do it. Anyways, best to you and yours always, Britt.

The band was on an episode of the Roseanne Show back in the 90s

My favorite song from them

Hook would a fun one to check out.

So good I can taste it!

You NEED to react to Ziggy Marley and John Popper (the lead singer of Blues Traveler) covering “No Woman, No Cry” live. It’s phenomenal!!

Next Blues Traveler reaction needs to be The Mountains Win Again.

I think you would enjoy Triumph....Magic Power....live 1983...Thanks!

Another awesome Blues Traveler song is Alone, Live from the Fall album. Sorry, there is no live version of this ( audio only ), but John's vocals are amazing.

Jon Stewart was just a baby! I forgot about his talk show.

Cmon brit, go on down the blues traveler rabbit hole. They put out some great tunes

The vocal terminology that you're looking for is yodeling, not sheepish, but well described

React to Meet Karl Pilkington next!

Gotta do Hook next!

You should check out their song But Anyway.

Listen to their song, Stand, if you want some more poetry. 😊

I don't know it for a fact, but I'd bet that Britt would jump at the chance to lick one of John Popper's recently used harmonicas.

Go Braves

Hook! Do their song hook! Any musician will love it

I'm fairly certain that John Popper was inspired to some degree by Stevie Wonder's harmonica playing style. You might consider reacting to- Little Stevie Wonder - Fingertips - Ed Sullivan Show 1963 kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4WGpNyTc9eqZNI.html
