Trapper Schoepp & The Shades – Run, Engine, Run

Remember the Shoop Shoop Song? It’s in his kiss and all that? Well, these are Trapper Schoepp’ songs and they have absolutely nothing to do with Cher whatsoever. This Milwaukee-based outfit likes to play rootsy rock tunes that tap from the same vein as Whiskeytown.

While you normally think of this music as being performed by men and women who’ve already lived a long and hard life, this guy is just 21 years old. Please don’t hold it against Schoepp and his Shades though because songs like “Tracks” and “To Have You Around” are some of the better ones I’ve heard all year in the genre.
Score: 8 out of 10
