I’ve always been a fan of John Popper’s harmonica playing, but I’d never heard seen this video until yesterday!
It’s 8 and a half minutes, so if you’re short on time, and want to skip to the harmonica solo, it’s right here.
I’m a huge fan of Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, and Damian Marley as well. I love them all! So it was very cool to come across this song and I thought I’d share it with you. Hope you like it too.
IMO, John Popper is as great of a singer as he is a harmonica player.
What a great performance. IJust getting into the harmonica game and have started seeing that Popper gets a lot of hate. I definitely don’t get that. The guy is incredible as far as I’m concerned. The articulation is incredible! Working on my “ta ka tas” now. That type of cleanliness seems unattainable!
This dude Playa T does a badass version of run around over 1st position so I hear!
I never heard of John and Blues Traveler. But I just checked out their song - But Anyway and I totally dug it. I don’t get why he would get put down. Thanks for the recent email Luke. I now follow this band on Spotify.
When “But Anyway” came out in the early 90’s I was a teenager, and it totally blew my mind. It was right around the time I was just starting to learn harmonica and I was like “WTF!?!?” I showing the recording to my dad cos it blew me away. I got to see them live in concert. It was a great show.
