Travelers & Thieves by Blues Traveler

Travelers & Thieves, Blues Traveler's second album, rolled out on A&M in 1991, and it's the sound of a Princeton, New Jersey band that would rather jam than stop. John Popper sings and wails on harmonica, Chan Kinchla lays down the guitar, and Bobby Sheehan on bass and Brendan Hill on drums keep the grooves loose enough to wander, which suits a group known on stage for sliding from one song straight into the next.

It's blues rock with a folky streak, and "All In The Groove" wears the mood right in its title. There's a family touch, too: the liner notes carry a poem called "Of Travelers & Thieves" by Sheehan's brother Jonathan. Fans who grabbed the very limited two-CD pressing got a bonus disc, On Tour Forever.
