Next Friday, Blitzen Trapper touch down in Los Angeles at the Bootleg Theater in support of their new long-player, Wild And Reckless. Inspired by the band's theatrical production of the same name, the album is a self-described paean to 'straight-up rock 'n roll and deconstructed weirdness.' Riffs, grooves, three-part harmonies and guitar solos. Darkness, a voice and a piano. For this installment of the series, BT head-honcho Eric Earley covers the Pink Floyd campfire chestnut, "Wish You Were Here", along with Lady Gaga. Earley, in his own words, below.
