This post is for my friend Kev who loved Blitzen Trapper before I had even heard of them. Blitzen Trapper manage to be hip and rugged at the same time - sort of like music for the greatest hodown in backcountry history. Every time I hear one of their songs I get a vision of hiking in the White Mountains, or sitting around a fire on the shores of a lake. Black River Killer is off Blitzen Trapper's most recent album Furr and is a languid ride through the hills in a beat up old jalopy. From their first album, Wild Mountain Nation is a hillbilly romp replete with country twang and guitar frills. There is something about Blitzen Trapper that makes me reminisce every time I listen.
Last year some friends and I went on a long hike along the Pemi Loop in New Hampshire and on the drive home after 5 hard days we listened to Blitzen Trapper completely exhausted, but filled with nature. So absolutely fitting for the end of an amazing experience. I miss stuff like that. Oh well, enjoy the tracks and nature.
PS. I am very glad that LOST is back. fyi
