Blitzen Trapper are one of those bands whom I've heard a lot about for the longest time, but for one reason or another, never got around to actually listening to. Until now, that is. And after hearing the lead single from their upcoming album, VII, I can confidently say they'll be in rotation for quite sometime.

"Shine On" is an infectious folky number with a hint of psychedelia, and it's immediate catchiness could launch the band into the mainstream. Coming off like a slightly mellower version of a tune the Black Crowes might have written in 1992, "Shine On" is a fun inviting song, likely to turn many others onto the band.
