** 1/2 Blues Traveler, “Live From the Fall,” A&M.; John Popper’s speedy harmonica runs are the band’s sonic signature, but guitarist Chan Kinchla is the star of this generous two-disc live set.

Albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
