Quite simply, this is easily Blues Traveler's strongest effort. I am a die-hard BT fan and have been since I was eleven years old, and this album definitely qualifies as my favorite. Some songs have a very dark edge to it, but some are light and uplifting. The songs have meaning, and aren't catch tunes (like much of Four, which is still a great album). This is definitely a must-have for ANYONE who appreciates good music.

Okay, let's cut to the chase - if you are here, you are here for a reason. Save His Soul, definitely stands out from the rest of the Blues Traveler albums. Although not necesarily for the best, the album rings of a undefined, inquisitive nature. It feels more of an ¨attempt¨ rather than a natural offspring, but nonetheless, still rocks and excites the listener. Trina Magna, Whoops, and Go Out Side & Drive are the principal driving forces off this one, while the harmonica on ¨Fledging¨ is simply beautiful. Some of the songs though are better live - Love and Greed - NY PROPHESIE - for example, and ¨Love of My Live¨ is grows more valuable with each listen. Overall, much more focused delivering the point of J.P. through writing, but essential, to me, nonetheless.

One of the best CD's from Blues Traveller.

The best tracks on this CD are Trina Magna, Letter from a friend, and Conquer Me. Overall a great CD.

I really think this the best and most powerful album BT has ever made nothing could match this one. I have all 6 albums and this one is the best. Whoops, Trina Magna, and Go Outside and Drive are awesome songs. Popper's hospital boredom really transalate's into this album

As a devout fan of Blues Traveler since 1993, it is very difficult to rate any of their efforts higher than their self-titled debut, but I believe that "Save His Soul" is deserving of that honor. From "Trina Magna" to "Whoops" and "Go Outside and Drive,"this album does not have a weak spot. As disappointed as I was when the band seemed to sell out with "Four" and made little redemption with "Straight On Till Morning", I was overjoyed with their latest, "Bridge." If you don't shed a tear when listening to "Pretty Angry," you simply do not have a soul.

This was the first album I bought the day it was released. Love Blues Travler and LOVE the album. Wiah new bands had as much to offer as they do.

This is by far the best blues traveler album ever. My favorite tracks are Trina Magna & Love & Greed. The emotion that is heard on this record is fantastic. It's a damn shame that this record is out of print and hard to find. Do yourself a favor and go find it. You'll be glad you did.

John Popper is an amazing lyricist, with an amazing talent for writing music. This is quite possibly the best album of Blues Traveler's, if it wasn't quite so dark. (Remember, prior to the release of the album, John was in the hospital.)

*****

This is still my favorite Blues Traveler album despite their excellent follow-ups. The songs are intricately crafted and overpoweringly beautiful. I suppose it did take me a bit of getting used to, but I've long since forgotten about that!

This album is the perfect combination of jamming and planned melody. BT's best. If you like Phish, DMB or BT, you must own this.
