Blues Traveler remakes their fans’ favorite songs on Cover Yourself
:: Blues Traveler ::: Fox Theatre :: December 7 ::
By Chibo Acevedo
The Grammy Award winning band Blues Traveler has played all over the world during the last two decades and has repeatedly ripped its audiences faces off with thunderous jams that do not necessarily fall into the three-and-a-half minute-format of pop radio. They have been through as much as any legendary rock and roll band, and continue to seek their own path through all the muck of wannabe hit makers in the pop market.
They have endured the death of original bassist Bobby Sheehan. They have endured and survived motorcycle accidents, major health problems, the yo-yo of public support, and all the bullshit that is the music industry. Through all of this they still stand as one of the present generation’s best and most earnest rock and roll jam-bands, and have maintained their passion for the backbeat, hard-driving, blues-based improvisation that has inspired them ever since the first days that they met in a Princeton, N.J. high school twenty years ago.

Warren Zevon
Preludes: Rare and Unreleased Recordings
Ammal/New West Records
4 out of 5 stars
In a world where everything is marketed to death, including death itself, Warren Zevon’s posthumous release Preludes: Rare and Unreleased Recordings stands apart, not only as a monument to the man and his work, but as a monument to those who have an intellect developed enough to “get” his music in its raw form. Ultimately, this double disc set allows the listener to enjoy the simplistic beauty of a legendary songwriter’s relationship with his art, and to hear the artist’s true opinion on many subjects in his own words.
The music on the first CD shows Zevon spinning tales of empty L.A. streets, old habits that die hard, old broken down cars, and broken down people, in unpolished splendor which lends itself to the earnestness of his compositions. These songs give the listener a peek inside the writings of a man that had not yet been “discovered” by a wide audience, as most of these recordings were made prior to 1976.
