INFLUENTIAL   MUSIC   OF   THE   YEAR



"But Anyway"
- Blues Traveler

This song was actually the first song on the first album Blues Traveler put out in 1990. They released a 'live' album this year that became popular with But Anyway being the song that was released. In turn, I bought the original CD and liked that version better, but included it in the Collection because the style of music was now popular, taking 5 years for 'modern music' to catch up, with bands like The Dave Matthews Band showcasing the style of music, but in a more 'Pop' style. Not the path that Blues Traveler chooses to take. The lead singer's voice is quite unique, with a rhythm that's mostly upbeats and funky, but always keeping a 'blues' type feel to the melody. The drums keep an awsome beat that brings attention to itself, but doesn't step on anyone's toes. Funny how sometimes only time can determine what's hot, and what's not.
