THE BLUES TRAVELER...Save His Soul (1993)
Save His Soul was released 20 years ago in 1993 and reached number 72 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. I'll give it a 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. My thought for today was to check out an album I had never heard from a band I don't listen to very often. I got lucky and picked a very good album. My first thought, however, was "oh wow, it has 14 songs and clocks in at more than an hour" but that turned out to be not a problem. Of course, the best track on the album is the last one, the 7 1/2 minute 'Fledgling'. This could be the best BT track I've ever heard. Throughout the album is the very familiar BT sound with some very cool harmonica. Recommended, for sure
