Blues Traveler – Run-Around

Blues Traveler made a big splash in the mid-90s with their bluesy, folk-rock harmonica driven sound (and larger than life front man, John Popper). They had a string of hits that started with “Run-Around“, a whimsical and upbeat pop song that features ferocious harp playing and borderline nonsensical lyrics. The video is a play on The Wizard of Oz, complete with “Dorthy” and her companions trying to get into a nightclub to see the “band behind the curtain”.

Clay and Wes discuss the skill involved with harmonica playing, the problem with jam bands, and running out of lyrics before your song is over!
