Only because there's no rating for zero
This is pretty much album no. I found no song on here that was good. 4 only there's more songs on here. I just want to take that harmonica to a hammer really bad. .


Worthwhile but not spectacular
" With the exception of a select few tracks - "Canadian Rose" and "Most Precarious" stand out to me - the album feels rushed and unfinished. As a follow-up to "Four" Blues Traveler released the over-exposed and under-achieving "Straight On Till Morning. It falls somewhere in the middle of pumping out great music to keep their true fans happy , and silencing critics who dubbed them one-hit-wonders after "Four". "Carolina Blues" was a terrific choice as the first single to be released, as it showcased the grittier, more blues-driven sound that was missing (for better or worse) from "Hook" and "Run-Around". I can't fault Popper & Co. for striking while the iron was hot, but I feel this is their most disappointing album to date.


Indeed...Straight On Till Morning!!!
DAMN these guys just never stop. Incredible work from the entire band!! Those that are disappointed or not happy with this CD must be deaf because it is amazing from start to finish. . . STRAIGHT ON TILL MORNING!! Makes me want to go drive!! If you dig Blues Traveller this is a crucial studio release, I don't care what any of these other reviewers are saying. It takes me on a fantastic rollercoaster of energy and emotion that few bands can. From the hits like Carolina Blues and Last Night I Dreamed to the "B" sides like Psycho Joe, Yours, The Gunfighter, Make My Way. . . they're all just fantastic, full of energy, and an absolute joy to listen to. When will these guys go on tour again??!?!?! Makes me yearn for the 90's jam band festivals in the summer. . . great stuff, must have, get it today!.


An overlooked masterpiece!!!!
The songs are very well composed, lirically and musically. Is difficult to choose what of their albums is better than the others, but "Straight on till morning" is in my opinion the best album of this incredible guys. The rhythm section is solid as always with more blues inspired solos courtesy of John and Chad. The drums and bass are great too and of course the harp attack in every song!!! Recommended!!!

Harp Attack!
This is some serious hard crankin harp driven blues/rock. Well if your looking for something quiet and soulfull FORGET THIS ONE. So what do get for your hard earned? In John Popper, the best harpist today bar none (yes including Musselwhite), with a great band backing him who have obviously seen the odd stage or 2000. Add to that some seriously good lyrical ability with all the depth and quirkiness of say a John Hiatt (now there's a wrap). What more can I add, I have all the BT CD's & this is difinitive. Like this, get the lot. Will always be a favorite of mine. Got a long drive ahead, this is a must, it can save your life.
Highlights are Canadian Rose, Psycho Joe and Most Precarious.
