Details: Amazon.ca John Popper clearly wanted to have a little fun on his solo debut, but he also wanted to get personal. From the Memphis blues groove and Beefheart growl of the opening "Miserable Bastard" to the countrified boogie of "Evil in My Chair" and the closing epic "Fledgling," Popper takes us beyond Blues Traveler's blues/pop hybrid and shows some swamp, some soul, and some vulnerability. Sure, there are staple barnburners here, but Zygote is sprinkled with slower, mostly accomplished and affecting ballads such as "Once You Wake Up," "Home," and the folky, romantic "Love for Free." A couple of other slower ones ("How About Now" and the plodding "Lunatic") don't work quite as well, but Popper's charisma and charm enhance his soft side, and the guitar work of Crugie Riccio, soaring at times into Gilmour and Garcia territory, elevates even these numbers. --John Sutton-Smith Product Description Forming Blues Traveler in 1987 with 3 high school pals, vocalist/harmonica player John Popper continues to play 200 dates per year with his band (Popper also remains the driving force behind the hugely successful H.O.R.D.E. Festival tour). Now comes John's highly anticipated solo album debut. Finally, fans of Popper's amazingly fluid harp playing get the chance to hear the big man singing a dozen compositions from his vast catalog of unrecorded songs. 1st single: "Miserable Bastard."
