Spin Doctors is an American rock band formed in New York City, best known for their early 1990s hits, "Two Princes", and "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong", which peaked on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart at No. 7 and No. 17 respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spin Doctors )
The current members are founders Chris Barron (born Christopher Gross; vocals), Eric Schenkman (guitar and vocals), Aaron Comess (drums and percussion), and Mark White (bass guitar).
==History==

The history of the Spin Doctors can be traced back to the late 1980s in New York City, originally as a band called Trucking Company, which included Canadian guitarist Eric Schenkman, John Popper, and later Chris Barron, who was Popper's Princeton, New Jersey high school friend. Popper left this side project to focus on his main gig with Blues Traveler full-time. With a name change to Spin Doctors, as well as the addition of Aaron Comess and Mark White, the classic lineup was in place by the spring of 1989.
The Spin Doctors were signed to Epic Records/Sony Music by A&R executive Frankie LaRocka in 1991. The band's Epic debut EP ''Up for Grabs...Live'' was recorded live at The Wetlands Preserve in lower Manhattan, and released in January 1991. (In November 1992, these EP tracks were remixed and supplemented by additional live recordings to form the album ''Homebelly Groove...Live''.) The Spin Doctors were known for their somewhat lengthy live shows, sometimes jamming even more than is evident on their live releases. They also often performed double-bill gigs opening for their friends Blues Traveler, with members of both bands all jamming together as the transition from the Spin Doctors set into the Blues Traveler set. The Spin Doctors have many songs from their early club days that were never officially released, but remain circulated via concert recordings.
The Spin Doctors' debut studio album, ''Pocket Full of Kryptonite'' was released in August 1991. The band continued to play extensive live shows, gaining grassroots fans, as the album was mostly ignored commercially. In summer 1992, the band toured with the first lineup of the H.O.R.D.E. festival, sharing the stage with fellow jam bands Widespread Panic, Blues Traveler, and Phish. That summer, commercial popularity heated up, as radio and MTV began playing "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" and "Two Princes" directed by filmmaker Rich Murray (who directed many of the band's videos). The album went Gold in September 1992, and then received another boost in sales after the band's appearance on ''Saturday Night Live'' in October 1992. Additional videos and singles followed for "What Time Is It," "How Could You Want Him (When You Know You Could Have Me?)," and "Jimmy Olsen's Blues." By June 1993, the album went Triple Platinum.〔 Ultimately it sold over five million copies in the U.S. and another five million overseas, and peaked at No. 3 on the ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart.
"() popularity is based on universal rock & roll virtues," said ''Rolling Stone'', which put the band on the cover of its January 7, 1993 issue. "The Doctors aren't trying to blaze new trails. They know we've been down this way with the Stones, Curtis Mayfield, and a few of their other touchstones. But the proof—plenty of it—is in the party." The Spin Doctors made an appearance on ''Sesame Street'', singing a modified version of "Two Princes" that emphasized the importance of sharing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Soundtracks for "Sesame Street" )〕 In 1993, they recorded covers of "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?", originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival, for the film ''Philadelphia''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Soundtracks for "Philadelphia" )〕 and "Spanish Castle Magic" for ''Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix''.
The Spin Doctors' second studio album, ''Turn It Upside Down,'' released in June 1994, was not quite as commercially successful as ''Pocket Full of Kryptonite,'' although it did sell a million copies in the United States〔 and a million overseas. The second single, "You Let Your Heart Go Too Fast", was a modest hit (#42 on the pop chart). This album also featured "Cleopatra's Cat", "Mary Jane", "Hungry Hamed's", and "Bags of Dirt". The band set out on a three-month headlining tour, and played to large crowds at Woodstock '94 and the Glastonbury Festival. Shortly after the release of ''Turn It Upside Down'', original guitarist Eric Schenkman left the band in September 1994 by walking offstage during a concert in Berkeley, California〔 citing musical and personal differences, and being weary of the road. Schenkman was replaced by Anthony Krizan.
Featuring new guitarist Krizan, the Spin Doctors released ''You've Got to Believe in Something'' in May 1996. It produced the single and video "She Used to Be Mine". They performed on the ''Late Show with David Letterman'' and did some touring, with Ivan Neville joining the band on keyboards. During this period, the Spin Doctors contributed the theme song to Seasons 2 and 3 of the television show ''Spin City.'' After touring wrapped up in the fall of 1996, guitarist Anthony Krizan eventually left the band, for reasons that remain relatively unknown. He was replaced by Israeli musician Eran Tabib after auditioning nearly 200 candidates. ''You've Got to Believe in Something'' did not live up to previous album sales, selling only 75,000 copies.〔 Epic dropped the band in 1996.〔
In 1998, the Spin Doctors signed to Uptown/Universal and released ''Here Comes the Bride'' in June 1999. During the recording of ''Here Comes The Bride,'' Mark White left the band. The bass tracks on the album were finished by original band member Aaron Comess. During the tour supporting ''Here Comes the Bride'', Chris Barron lost his voice due to a rare acute form of vocal cord paralysis that severely affected his ability to talk, let alone sing. He was told he had a 50-50 chance of ever talking or singing normally again.〔 Keyboardist Ivan Neville also took over vocal duties for a few dates, but the band eventually cancelled the remainder of its tour. Barron's voice came back in early 2000 (first comeback () shows in March 2000), at which point he began performing with his band and the Give Daddy Five. Barron undertook what he calls "a journeyman songwriting experience," composing tunes with Blues Traveler's John Popper and with former BMI executive Jeff Cohen.
The Spin Doctors remained inactive as a band until September 2001, when news about the closing of legendary NYC venue Wetlands sparked the original four members to reunite. On September 7, 2001, the original line-up took the stage for the first time since 1994 to play at Wetlands. It was the final closing week of the club. The landmark show was a great success for the fans and the band.〔
Odd shows followed in 2002 through 2005, which eventually led to a brand new studio album, ''Nice Talking to Me'', released on September 13, 2005.〔 The single "Can't Kick the Habit" was included on the soundtrack to the movie ''Grandma's Boy''. It received moderate radio airplay, along with the songs "Margarita" and the title track "Nice Talking to Me". While the record received good reviews, follow-up proved difficult when the record company that released it went out of business.
In 2008, the band continued to play one-off live shows in the United States and Europe. Drummer Aaron Comess released an instrumental record of all his own compositions entitled ''Catskills Cry'' featuring bassist Tony Levin and guitarist Bill Dillon. In 2009, Chris Barron released the solo record ''Pancho and the Kid'' on Valley Entertainment. During the summer of 2010, Barron released ''Songs from the Summer of Sangria''. This five-song EP was his first official release with his band The Time Bandits.
In 2011, the band celebrated the 20-year anniversary of ''Pocket Full of Kryptonite'' with a UK and US tour. Sony Legacy released a 20th anniversary edition with bonus material on August 29, 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Legacy )
In 2012, Barron took part in the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, with The Canoes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Norway - The Canoes: the next MGP 2012 act )
In April 2013, the band released "If the River Was Whiskey", their sixth studio album.
