Princeton-bred jam band who somehow turned 'Run-Around' (1995) and a harmonica solo into a Top-10 single — and then 'Hook,' a song that's literally about the cynicism of writing pop hooks, became another. John Popper plays harp like other people drive sports cars; he's basically rebuilt what the instrument can do in a rock context. The H.O.R.D.E. Festival (1992) helped invent the modern jam-band touring circuit alongside Phish and Spin Doctors. Underrated catalog, undeniable live show.
