Travel On, Rider is the fifth studio album by Columbus, Ohio-based rock band Scrawl. It was released in 1996 on Elektra Records, making it the band's major-label debut. It was produced by Steve Albini and Jeff Powell.[1]

In a favorable review, Gina Arnold wrote that "although Travel On, Rider...is by far the best album of [Scrawl's] career, it is also the band's most difficult." She also described the album as "the Ladies to the [Afghan] Whigs' 1993 tour de force Gentlemen.[2] Andy Kellman gave Travel On, Rider 3 and a half stars out of 5, writing, "Without sacrificing the band's rough edges, Steve Albini's and Jeff Powell's recording and engineering give the band it's [sic] most polished sound yet, but it doesn't make their songs -- still bitter, still pessimistic, still sad -- suffer for it."[3]
