Black River Killer – Blitzen Trapper

It’s hard to miss the influence of legends in Blitzen Trapper’s music – Neil Young, Cat Stevens, The Dead. While so much in the music world is about pushing genre definitions and introducing exciting sounds that have never been heard before, sometimes it’s refreshing to hear a song that doesn’t try to do anything new – and does it impeccably.

You can download a number of their songs over at Sub Pop – American Goldwing is another must-listen. Also check out their newest album, VII.
