Album Review: Trapper Schoepp – Primetime Illusion

Trapper Schoepp, “Primetime Illusion” (Xtra Mile Recordings)- The Milwaukee based troubadour’s  third studio album serves up a generous helping of his slickly crafted musings on the human condition alongside a genuine treasure in the shape of the closing cut, “Oh,Wisconsin.” The lyrics of this heartfelt ode to  Trapper’s homestate were penned by no less a luminary than Bob Dylan in 1961 and then seemingly lost for more than half a century before being rediscovered by the great man’s former roomate in 2017 and subsequently set to music by Schoepp, with commendably compelling results.
