| | John Popper: Blues Traveler with a harp |
 | | Popper breaks little or no new ground on this record in terms of either the melodic content or the basic structure of his solos. | | | Every aspect of Popper's musical output, from his lyrics to his song structures, reveals a person who is emotional, intelligent, and extremely talkative, a guy who has so much to say that he can barely squeeze it into the available space before the song ends. | | | The most important news is that Popper has made big progress on this disk in the use of electronics to augment the sound of his instrument. |

| | Conspicuously absent is the rapid-firing harmonica that is Popper's trademark. | | | One might wonder why Popper would want to release a solo album. | | | When it's time for a solo break, such as on the opening track, "Miserable Bastard," a seven-plus-minute funk-based blues rocker, Popper doesn't let the listener down, peppering the track with notes fast enough to make your head spin. |

| | Zygote (John Popper) |
| | Zygote: John Popper's 1999 solo album: extremely excellent, could be easily mistaken for a Blues Traveler album (since what makes most of the BT sound is John's vocals and bluesharp) to the untrained ear, but it's got a certain freshness due to guitarist Crugie (Riccio, but he never lists his last name, ever)'s writing. | | | It is a slow album, but the lyrics are excellent, Popper's voice is outstanding and mesmerizing and his harmonica parts blend in to perfection. | | | I'll be honest, I was a bit skeptical when I recently found out John Popper had released a solo album a few years back. |

| | Over the early 1990's, John would play a half-dozen more solo sets, all but one at the Wetlands Preserve, and would also occasionally play a song or two solo at the band's full shows to give the rest of the band a break. | | | It was not until the summer of 1998 that word got around about John doing some songwriting with Jonny Lang, and in the fall of that same year, John revealed that the band would be taking most of 1999 off and that he had been writing some material for a solo project. | | | John ended up in Hoboken, NJ's Water Music studios with old Cycomotogoat friends Crugie Riccio, Rob Clores and Dave Ares, and drummer Carter Beauford, best known for his work behind the kit of Dave Matthews Band. |

| | John Popper was considering a career as a comedian, but after hearing the likes of the Blues Brothers and Jimi Hendrix he picked up a harmonica, intent on making it sound like Hendrix's guitar. | | | The Travelers of 2002 are John Popper (lead vocals, harmonica and guitar), Chan Kinchla (guitar), Brendan Hill (drums and percussion), Tad Kinchla (bass) and Ben Wilson (piano and keyboards). | | | They were then signed to Hollywood records, which released Euphoria in 1997 and the widely-heralded Nashville Sessions in 1999. |

| | Cons: Inferior lyrics, songs that seem to still be in their infancy, and overall monotony overrule Popper's solo potential this time out. | | | The first thing you notice is that the vocals don't sound quite like the Popper that we're used to - the one that anchors the noodle-dance-favorite... | | | It seems as though a lot of people have a misconception about this album, Zygote by John Popper. |

| | UWO Gazette - Volume 93, Issue x |
| | Popper's love for combining cliché phrases and eccentric topics in his lyrics with a baritone which knows no boundaries is what has garnered Blues Traveller hits "Run Around" and "Hook" their enormous successes. | | | That is until the odd, warbling lyrics of lead singer John Popper came into the musical fray. | | | Popper has brought his truly memorable talents along on his first solo effort Zygote, an uncompromising album straight from the mind of the singer/songwriter. |

| | But two months before the album's Sept. 7th release and the John Popper Band's live debut, the 400-pound, 32-year-old rocker underwent an angioplasty, having suffered from chest pains for nearly a year. | | | While his band, Blues Traveler, took a year off, the Princeton native recorded a solo album of well-crafted songs boasting his fine but rarely heard guitar playing. | | | The thing that I can't stand is that people think that Sarah McLachlan only likes one kind of music. |

| | It can be a little much at times, but his busy approach is largely what has defined the sound of Blues Traveler and has helped the band to stand high in a crowd of jammy outfits. | | | Home : Reviews : Albums : John Popper: Zygote | | | During the guitary jams that speckle the album, most notably during the second half of "His Own Ideas" which dangles in a modal tide pool similar to the instrumental break of the Grateful Dead's "Cassidy," Popper splooges less and peels out some tasty and chilled licks that rock in their own dirty simplicity. |

| | RollingStone.com: Zygote : John Popper : Review |
| | Zygote, his solo debut, recorded with a band that includes Dave Matthews' drummer, Carter Beauford, and most of an outfit named Cycomotogoat, is a doozy in that regard: It's a singer-songwriter album done from a neoboogie point of view. | | | With hits like "Run-Around" and "Hook," Blues Traveler have concentrated more accessible flair than most of their jammy brethren; on their 1996 concert album, Live From the Fall, they barreled their way into not only Beck's "Loser" but also "The Inch Worm," a tender song popularized by the celebrated rocker Danny Kaye. | | | It opens with "Miserable Bastard," a super track whose guitar riff is so frisky, you don't mind it going on forever. |

| | AudioRevolution.com CD Review John Popper ZYGOTE |
| | Overall the album is on the mellow side but not so much so to put it in danger of being ‘easy listening.’ The recording with only minor faults, does a better than average job in capturing Popper’s great performance. | | | From then on the remainder of the album explores a wide variety of styles from the slow and mellow ballads to fast paced. | | | This track is followed by a couple songs "Once You Wake Up" and "Growing In The Dirt" that closely follow the Blues Traveler style of late, particularly the album "Four." These tracks are a bit smoother and feature some good harmonies. |

| | Blues Traveler review on Maxim Online |
| | The book on the latest Blues Traveler album is that someone has finally reined in frontman John Popper’s worst harp-squealing tendencies. | | | Without it, it’s easy to see the band& underappreciated strengths—a seemingly endless supply of engaging guitar melodies and Popper’s soulful vocals—stirring in these otherwise ordinary, blues-based songs. | | | When producer Don Gehman does manage to bury Popper’s blustery playing under a mountain of rootsy pop sounds, Blues Traveler come up with the album’s best track, “Unable to Get Free.” We can only hope they think so, too. |
