Blitzen Trapper songwriter and guitarist Eric Earley describes the band’s latest release American Goldwing as being about letting the group’s loves and early influences out for public display. The album is a culmination of “the sounds we grew up with, the hard guitar rock and country picking of our younger years mixes with glimmers of our usual space-aging technology and pawn shop Casio aplomb.” He speaks of “heavy guitar riffs and blasting drum-fills live side-by-side with plucking banjos, wailing harmonicas and muddy slide guitars that make you want to shotgun a beer in the shower while listening to the Stones or Joe Walsh”.
