Trigger Hippy - Full Circle And Then Some (CD) - CD

Details: We've come Full Circle and Then Some, goes the chorus to the title track of Trigger Hippy s sophomore album, their debut for Nashville indie label Thirty Tigers on the Turkey Grass Records imprint, and it s the perfect description of the long road these experienced musicians have traveled to arrive with an eclectic set that burnishes their collective roots from country, delta blues, R&B and gospel to southern rock and funk, from Memphis soul to New Orleans honky-tonk. This new collection spotlights Trigger Hippy s patented call-and-response duets and three-part vocal harmonies, with a stylistic range that encompasses traditional country plaints (Strung Out on the Pain), classic rockers (the title track), honking blues (Dandelion), a Basement Tapes-ish swamp-pop nod to the devastation of Katrina (Goddamn Hurricane), Dr. John-meets Allen Toussaint bayou grooves (Long Lost Friend) and even a psychedelic trance/dirge raga (Born to be Blue).
