Free Willis, Ruminations from 5:51<br /> Behind Uncle Bob's Machine Shop<br /> <br /> Release Notes:<br /> <br /> It's not every band that's still staking out new musical territory and embracing<br /> fresh challenges more than 20 years into their career, but that's the case with<br /> Blues Traveler. Having long ago graduated from the jam-band underground to<br /> mainstream stardom, the iconoclastic combo has consistently stuck to its guns<br /> and played by its own rules.<br /> <br /> For their new release (and Verve Forecast debut) North Hollywood Shootout, the<br /> quintet ventured out of their creative comfort zone to explore some adventurous<br /> new horizons. The resulting album is a landmark in Blues Traveler's large and<br /> widely loved body of work, demonstrating the enduring strengths of the band's<br /> songwriting while capturing the spontaneous spirit of their legendary live<br /> shows.<br /> <br /> The aforementioned body of work encompasses eight studio albums and four live<br /> discs, six of them certified Gold or Platinum, with combined worldwide sales of<br /> more than ten million units. The band's best-known single, &quot;Run-Around,&quot; was the<br /> longest-charting radio single in Billboard history. Along the way, the band has<br /> played more than 2000 live shows in front of more than three million people.<br /> <br /> &quot;We're still trying to reconcile the different things we do, and cultivate what<br /> we're individually good at into something that's bigger than the sum of its<br /> parts,&quot; notes frontman and harmonica-slinger John Popper. &quot;When we're all<br /> playing and it's working, it becomes this separate entity, and that's still the<br /> thing that we're chasing.&quot;<br /> <br /> North Hollywood Shootout -- produced by Grammy-winner David Bianco, whose<br /> diverse resume includes work with the likes of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers,<br /> Ozzy Osbourne, Mick Jagger and Teenage Fanclub -- makes a strong case for Blues<br /> Traveler's timelessly vital writing and performing abilities. Such memorable<br /> tunes as the uplifting road-trip anthem &quot;You, Me and Everything,&quot; the playfully<br /> romantic &quot;Love Does&quot; and the elegant, evocative &quot;Orange in the Sun&quot; boast<br /> infectious melodic hooks while showcasing the interactive instrumental chemistry<br /> that originally endeared the band to its rabidly devoted fan base.<br /> <br /> The new material also makes a strong case for the introspective side that's<br /> always been a key element of lyricist Popper's persona. The heart-tugging lyrics<br /> of the opening track &quot;Forever Owed&quot; were inspired by the singer's recent USO<br /> trip to Afghanistan and Iraq, while the poignant &quot;Borrowed Time&quot; is a<br /> bittersweet meditation on mortality and transience, inspired both by the recent<br /> passing of bandmates Chan and Tad Kinchla's father, and by Popper's feelings for<br /> his beloved and aging dog. The album's biggest sonic curveball is its closing<br /> track, &quot;Free Willis, Ruminations from Behind Uncle Bob's Machine Shop.&quot; The<br /> six-minute spoken-word sound collage finds the band jamming over an insistent<br /> drumbeat, while actor Bruce Willis, a longtime fan and friend, delivers a<br /> colorful freeform monologue/rant.<br /> <br /> &quot;Free Willis&quot; is a particularly aggressive embodiment of the creative risks that<br /> the ever-restless quintet took in writing and recording North Hollywood<br /> Shootout. Rather than fall back on established routines, the musicians<br /> challenged themselves by adopting some new working methods.<br /> <br /> As guitarist Chan Kinchla explains, &quot;On the last few records, we concentrated so<br /> much on the craft of the songwriting and arrangements that we started losing<br /> some of the live spontaneity that the five of us created on stage. So on this<br /> album, instead of doing the usual pre-production process, where we really worked<br /> out the songs before taking them into the studio, we decided to go straight into<br /> the studio and do the songwriting there. We recorded all the parts as we were<br /> working them out, and then build the songs from there. We'd find a cool little<br /> pocket and jam on it, or there'd be a drumbeat or a guitar part that was really<br /> happening, and we'd take the best part of that and use it as the foundation of<br /> the song.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;That was a completely new way of working for us,&quot; Kinchla asserts, &quot;but it
