Houston: We Have a Drinking Problem

Houston: We Have a Drinking Problem is the second studio album by Bad Astronaut, released in 2002 on the Honest Don's independent record label. The title alludes to the statement "Houston, we have a problem" somewhat inaccurately attributed to astronaut Jim Lovell aboard the Apollo 13 spacecraft when an explosion in the Service Module endangered the crew. The track "Our Greatest Year" features a harmonica solo by John Popper of Blues Traveler fame.
