...home with their record label, as their fourth album “Furr” showcases their talent well.Influenced heavily by nature and their own spirituality, Trapper creates interesting tunes through light guitar chords and multiple keyboards, offering a sound reminiscent of Neil Young with a dash of Bob Dylan.

...raise taxes to cope with budget shortfalls brought on by the recession. Bush, you may remember, was never forgiven by conservatives for breaking his "read my lips" no-new-taxes pledge, and he went on to lose his re-election bid two years later. The moderate Republican minority leader Bob Michel faced his own insurrection from conservatives, including Armey and Newt Gingrich, who became Speaker when the GOP won the House in 1994.
