Just having finished a nationwide tour with David Vandervelde, Blitzen Trapper is hitting the pavement again. If you’re anything like us, you just had an overwhelming desire to sing a little ditty along the lines of “on the road again...”

But if you’re a busy commuter and just mentally told us to shove it, well, the band's self-released album Wild Mountain Nation will delight their international fans when it's released October 22.
