Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release, the ninth studio album from Portland's Blitzen Trapper. The album Wild & Reckless was born from the stage production that the band spent the better part of a year producing. The half musical, half rock-opera dealt with heroin abuse, desperation, true love and western power structures. The story evoked a bygone era of Portland with this sci-fi love story, featuring a rock 'n' roll score that paired unreleased songs with favorites from the band's catalog. Following the success of the production, the band took seven original songs from the production and developed the theme further into the 12 songs that comprise the album Wild & Reckless. Show more
