Billy Pilgrim were a folk rock duo, Andrew Hyra and Kristian Bush, based in Georgia, and they took their name from the time-traveling antihero of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. Before that they simply played as Andrew Hyra and Kristian Bush, and they adopted the new name in 1994, the same year their self-titled album came out on Atlantic.

It's an earnest, acoustic-leaning record, and "Get Me Out of Here" went out as a single, while "Insomniac" is the track the countdowns favored. Bloom followed in 1995 with the single "Sweet Louisiana Sound". Those 2 Atlantic albums were the duo's major-label run, with several more records released independently, and one station's countdowns kept their songs in rotation for years afterward.
