Popper is a musical genius. Not only does he wail on his harmonica, but he plays a mean lead guitar. This, coupled with the fact that Popper often records a couple of vocal tracks to accompany himself, makes this album a real testament to his versatility and ability. On the last song, you can really hear him stretching for Brian May's sound. This record is simply beautiful. To everyone that got to see him in Burlington, I proclaim my jealousy of you. John Popper is a true bard. His solo effort sends chills down my spine and inspires my own creativity. I am glad to have had the chance to hear him.
I've always been a big fan of Blue's Traveler, but until I purchased this album I'd never heard any of John Popper's solo work. Let me tell you, I was thoroughly blown away! Keeping in mind this album came out in 1999, the songs themselves have a very funky vibe with some jazz, blues and pop thrown in for good measure. Of course you get John Popper's signature voice and harmonica talent, but his song-writing is what really shines through in Zygote. I would highly recommend this album to any fan of Blue's Traveler, and any fan of 90's music!
