The Spin Doctors Stage Comeback for 'Pocketful of Kryptonite's' 20th Anniversary

It's been nearly twenty years since 'Little Miss Can't Be Wrong' and 'Two Princes' became radio and video hits, thereby thrusting the Spin Doctors from a tight-knit New York scene centered around clubs like the Wetlands and Nightingales into the worldwide spotlight. The album from which those singles came, 1991's 'Pocketful of Kryptonite,' went on to sell more than ten million copies and the Spin Doctors became bona fide sensations -- but it was a short-lived ride as followup releases weren't able to maintain the same level of success. Or, at least, sales.

In 1999, lead singer Chris Barron was diagnosed with a rare form of vocal cord paralysis that left him virtually speechless. Unable to talk, let alone sing -- and faced with a coin-toss chance of ever getting his voice back -- he dropped out of the band. The Spin Doctors were put on the disabled list, where they remained for some time, regrouping for occasional one-offs and special occasions.

But now, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their crowning achievement, 'Pocketful of Kryptonite,' the Spin Doctors are, indeed, staging a comeback. The album will get the double-deluxe-bonus-remastered treatment for its August 30 rerelease and Jambands.com reports that the band plans to spend much of the rest of the year touring the U.S. Welcome back, fellas.
