With a little Southern guitar melodies, a heavy dose of harmonica and vocal stylings borrowed from a certain Beatnik, Blitzen Trapper crafted a song that is all American. Reflecting the traditions of folk and rock music from the past forty years, "American Goldwing" is the title track from the Portland ensemble's upcoming record due September 13. Grab a tambourine and download the track through the email-snatching widget below, then scope out a few summer tour dates in the Western part of the States.
