All Across This Land (Digi-Pak)

2015 studio album from acclaimed Portland, Oregon rock quintet Blitzen Trapper. In a lengthy essay regarding the concept and construction of All Across This Land, the official Blitzen Trapper site compared the album to earlier albums like Furr and American Goldwing: quot;All Across This Land is a top-down, tightly defined piece of classic rock and roll, full of big riffs, bigger hooks and compelling, instantly relatable lyrics... 'I think it's a return to the sort of more classic Blitzen Trapper thing, for sure,quot; songwriter Eric Earley says. Earley also elaborated on the songwriting process: quot;Those two albums [Furr and American Goldwing], I wrote all the songs at once and they all hang together. But the records that came in between, they were written over the course of a year-and-a-half or so... For All Across This Land, I had all the songs written and demoed in a three or four month span. And I think they work together because everything came in such a short period.quot;
