The Ultimate Blues Traveler Playlist

Listen Later

Is the "Track Seven Theory" actually real? This week on Beer, Blues, and BS, we’re testing the legend that the seventh song on every album is the best one while building the Ultimate Blues Traveler Playlist. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the harmonica-shredding John Popper or only know the hits from the 90s, this deep dive is designed to get you ready for our upcoming concert trek in September.

But before we hit the high notes, we’re navigating the low points of parenting and "medication-induced hallucinations." Howard Blues recounts a surreal night of falling asleep sitting up, while JS and Rudeboy Kyle trade strategies on blackout shades and the impossible 10-minute "sleep window" for toddlers. Plus, Doc shares the eerie experience of performing a live radio concert to an empty room, and we debate whether a $15 four-pack of lager is ever truly worth it.

Inside this Episode:

  • The Blues Traveler Deep Dive: From the "Bubbly Tornado" of their early days to the Grammy-nominated blues of 2021.
  • Pickle Mania: The search for the perfect pickle beer and the "United Sodas" sour blueberry review.
  • Garage Wisdom: JS’s ultimate "Dad Advice" on why you need to clean your garage floor (and how to fix your Wi-Fi).
  • The Power of Hobbies: Doc and Rudeboy Kyle on why "giving up your passions" as an adult is a lie.
