Furr is a thrilling trip through the minds of a band still interested in being, in their own words, wild and reckless.

While they may not have an especially high profile, that may be due more to the vagaries of the music business than a lack of effort and chops.

Given that Blitzen Trapper's most recent release, All Across This Land, came out almost exactly one year ago with the band having played the same exact venue a few weeks later, the band had to do something a little different this time around.

It was a Wednesday night, the club was relaxed, and without any opener for the Portland natives, a quiet and pleasant comfort pervaded the venue.

When it came to the vocals of Eric Earley, thoughts of Bob Dylan weren't too far away, and that's not the recent Dylan either.
