* {{Conlang}}: Shows up between songs on the ''Homebelly Groove...Live'' album. Chris Barron starts speaking in an exotic-sounding language and gets the audience to repeat each sentence after him. Several lengthy exchanges later, he gives the translation -- "Can we get a pitcher of water on the stage?" -- and adds, "It's not a very efficient language. It takes a little...a little explaining."

--> I hope them cigarettes are gonna make you cough / I hope you heard this song and it pissed you off / I take that back I hope you're doing fine / And if I had a dollar, I might give you ninety-nine.

--> I hope them cigarettes are going to make you cough, I hope you heard this song and pissed you off. I take that back I hope you're doing fine.

* John Popper - harmonica, lead vocals (during the Trucking Company era)

* QuestioningTitle: "What Time Is It?"

Guitarist Eric Schenkman left the band in 1994, and other members (original and replacement) came and went over the next several years. Barron lost his voice while the band was on tour in support of their 1999 album ''Here Comes the Bride'', and most of the performances were ultimately cancelled. He regained the use of his voice in 2000; the original lineup reunited a year later and went on to record two more albums before bassist Mark White was fired in 2022.

* John Popper - harmonica (during the Trucking Company era)

* CareerEndingInjury: Narrowly averted in the case of Chris Barron. After he lost his voice during the tour for ''Here Comes the Bride'', doctors only gave him a 50-50 chance of ever being able to talk or sing normally again. He got his voice back in early 2000 and spent most of that year and next working on his own until the whole band reunited in fall 2001.

The band started life as a band called The Trucking Company and was led by John Popper, when he left the project to form Music/BluesTraveler, he gave lead singing duties to his high school best friend Chris Barron. They signed with Epic Records in 1991, a year later in 1992 they would earn their first radio hits "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" and later "Two Princes".

* BetterPartnerAssertion: "Two Princes" is a slight variation; both "princes" adore the girl in question, and the other is richer, has better prospects, is approved of by the girl's father, and so on; but still earnestly predicts that the singer would be a better choice than the other fellow.
* BluesRock: Munch of their later material, most notably in ''If The River Was Whiskey''.

* QuestioningTitle: "What Time is It?"

* TrainSong: "'Bout A Train" from ''You Got to Believe in Something''.
