Blitzen Trapper - American Goldwing

 Blitzen Trapper are a new band to me even though they have apparently released 6 albums and have been around since 2000.  Amazing how bands sometimes just pass you by unnoticed.

They come from Portland, Oregon and are an alternative country band signed to Sub-Pop.  Having just had a quick listen to earlier stuff on Spotify and reading up on their background etc, I think I can guarantee that I will be listening to more of their stuff as its very much grown up music (as opposed to AOL) made by not so grown up men.  Perfect!

American Goldwing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgOgvfLZ4N0 is the title track to their new album.  Long-term fans seem to agree that it's not their best but as this is new to me, I am pretty taken with it.  This track in particular reminds me of The Band.  Think I need to delve more into their back catalogue and find out what I've missed.
