We recently hosted Steve Gorman for a discussion and book signing for his Black Crowes memoir Hard To Handle and now we've got his band Trigger Hippy coming to Grimey's to rock the shop.
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").
Full Circle and Then Some is out now and available on vinyl & CD at Grimey's. Come rock with us when Trigger Hippy takes the Grimey's stage on Saturday, March 7th, at 2PM. Please note the earlier-than-usual start time for this Saturday in-store.
