Album: four by Blues Traveler (1994)
Genre: Rock | Style: Rock/Pop | Mood: Passionate
Format: Album

Description: Lacking the rootsier edge of Save His Soul, Four finds Blues Traveler retreating to their standard blues-boogie formula, with mixed results. Of course, there are some fine songs here -- including their breakthrough hit single, "Run-Around" -- but too often the band sounds like it's coasting. Four is a solid record, but it shows signs that the band's formula may be wearing thin.
