Straight On Till Morning

A polished fusion of 90s alternative hooks and virtuosic blues-rock jamming. Defined by John Popper's lightning-fast harmonica and a restless, road-weary optimism.

The ultimate 90s road trip record for people who think every song needs a three-minute harmonica solo.

A restless, high-energy celebration of the open road tempered by moments of soulful reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive harmonica solo on Carolina Blues that mimics a steam engine gaining speed.

The transition into the soaring, anthemic chorus of Great Big World.

The seven-minute slow-burn build of Make My Way that serves as the album's emotional climax.
