BLITZEN TRAPPER

Portland, Oregon's Blitzen Trapper play upbeat, lazy-day country rock that often sounds as if it's been plucked straight out of Laurel Canyon circa 1975. While WILD MOUNTAIN NATION, the band's third full-length, does contain traces of contemporary indie rock (see "Cool Love Number One," with its affected vocals and herky-jerky guitar licks), the boys in Blitzen Trapper seem content to simply indulge their influences, rather than over-thinking things and ending up a half-baked My Morning Jacket. The classic rock songbook is very much a stone, but as Blitzen Trapper shows here, there's plenty of fresh blood still be drawn.
