Trigger Hippy from the album Full Circle & Then Some available on Turkey Grass Records (by Bryant Liggett)
 
When Steve Gorman of The Black Crowes put Trigger Hippy together back in 2009, it was more of a side project, an outlet for some key-players in the Southeast roots rock and Jam Band scene. The group hit the ground hard playing a bunch of shows with a revolving cast of musicians that included Joan Osbourne and Jimmy Herring, making a record in 2014 before calling it quits….until 2019. Full Circle & Then Some marks the return of Trigger Hippy. The album features original members Gorman and Nick Govrik, joined by Ed Jurdi (Band of Heathens) along with Amber Woodhouse. The record is big Roots Rock, loaded with grooves ripe for the Jam Band land while remaining tight and succinct in its rhythms. Full Circle & Then Some kicks off with a Jam-jingle; three vocalists trading verses on “Don’t Wanna Bring You Down” before they all join together in an optimistic and upbeat album opener. “Strung Out on the Pain” and “Born to Be Blue” is a double-dose of heartache while the title track is a big, driving Rock’n’Roll number.
“Goddamn Hurricane” is sad, Bluesy, and woeful, a tale about lives upended, with Trigger Hippy channeling the ache of Rick Danko for a tune plucked right from the South, a tale for anyone who has had to pick up roots, bailing before a turn in the weather. With nods to Little Feat, The Neville Brothers, and The Band, Trigger Hippy is digging into a 1970’s Rock’n’Roll’n’Roots vibe loaded with American Music, “Low Down Country Song” reminding that the homegrown sound of Blues and Soul is classic boogie for every party.
