Trapper Schoepp & the Shades, “So Long”

Videos by American Songwriter

22 year-old Schoepp clearly grew up rifling through his parents’ record collection, paying special attention to the artists who pioneered California’s country-rock sound during the 1970s. “So Long” sets those rootsy influences to a breezy, waltzing tempo, sweetening the deal with fiddle, smooth harmonies and tremolo guitar riffs.
