Blitzen Trapper brings country-rock to AVC Sessions
January 19, 2018Welcome back to AVC Sessions. Itβs a new year, and that means a new set of artists, bands, singers, and rappers in the A.V. Club studio to perform a few tracks. This week, weβll be sharing a few songs from country-rock quintet Blitzen Trapper, which released its ninth studio album, Wild And Reckless, in late 2017. In the first video from its session, the group performed βStolen Heartsβ from the album.
