The Tractors
Reviewed by Bob Cannon
THE TRACTORS The Tractors (Arista) This veteran
Oklahoma quintet comes with a major league resume
(they've backed Dylan, Raitt, Clapton) and a
knack for laying down barrelhouse boogie and
hard country with uninhibited joy. Thanks to
vocalist Steve Ripley's leering growl, their
blue-collar outlook (''I might not be broke/But
I'm badly bent'') is delivered with a chuckle.
The Tractors are outstanding in their field.
