CD reviews for The Tractors
The Big Night

Although the Tractors have fallen out of the limelight since leaving Arista, Steve Ripley and his band are still turning out high-quality boundary-crossing music. It's country, boogie and swing all rolled into one. Above all, it's highly satisfying. The slow burn of the Elvis classic "Santa Claus Is Back in Town" fits this band perfectly, as does the rocking Rick Vito (Fleetwood Mac) tune "I Was a Bad Boy This Year." Ripley cowrote "Bo Diddley Santa Claus," a little ditty in which Santa gets sick »»»

Michele, how on earth do you find these things? :thumbsup: Your searching skills are incredible. Let me know if you find Jimmy Hoffa.

The thread title was a bit disconcerting, though.....:shocked: :laugh:

I do love to find tidbits in the clippings that are not about the Rumours 5.

Yes, I guess I could have phrased the thread title differently:laugh:. Michele

I'm working on building up the content for this album in the discography now. I thought it was odd in the CD liner notes they only list some lyrics for each track. I've posted what there was in the booklet anyways. :)
