Oct 5, 2015With each turn back and forth, it’s a better, more confident band delivering the next phase. So even as All Across This Land is a triumph of Blitzen Trapper’s classic rock sensibilities, perhaps there’s an oddball masterpiece waiting in the wings.

Oct 28, 2015The ballad Love Grow Cold has a hazy, 80s sheen and the rest of the album has its feet planted firmly in the 70s, but this is nevertheless a slick and timeless collection of songs.

Oct 26, 2015They play one too many Springsteen cards with the dark “Cadillac Road” (at this point, Bruce pretty much owns any lyrics that revolve around mills shutting down), but the record ends on another strong track, “Across the River.” Taken as a whole, All Across This Land is one of the group’s strongest offerings in years.
