Customer Reviews:

Great fun! Best original Xmas album we've heard in awhile.......2003-10-24

My wife and I hadn't heard of The Tractors when we came across this album, but some of the song titles looked promising so we took a chance. I'm pleased to report that the band came through with flying colors.

Some of these tracks suggest a comedy/novelty treatment a la Dr. Demento, but don't be fooled... the sound is really rockin' country-and-western, complete with honky-tonk piano and hard-driving drums. Plenty of good stuff here, and almost all of it original, a real achievement among the usual Christmas reissues and revivals. The blue ribbon goes to "Santa Claus Is Comin' (in a Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train)," an infectious tune that we think you'll play again and again. The close runner-up is The Tractors' remake of Buck Owens's "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy," a newer take on "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." Grab this one for these two cuts alone.

Not your average traditional christmas songs. A refreshing change of pace.

com"YULE"ation Cleric : Comin` To Jingle All Bells.......2001-09-18

This disc`s liner art may be a plain paper package, but the contents within abound with Americana Christmas crafting of some good ol` boys of this here USA. Let`s inventory the Orignality gems found within this YULEtide Treasure Chest by genre..mmm..rockabillity; sway ballad; rock`n western shake; country slide; boogie woogie; cajan jam; texmex swing; bar room blues; and indie strummer. Now figure in the band`s tweaked tagging of seasonal standards with stylings of jive, retro piano, and some hot country all completing a true "ideal" package I wish more artists would aspire toward. So for those in the Know and\or anyone with apprehension just take that purchase plunge for variety is the spice of life and this disc insures that enjoyment.~~Merrily Mix~~ 1#1\2 , 2$ , 3% , 4#1\2 , 5$ , 6# , 7% , 8$ , 9#1\2 , 10#1\2 , 11% ,and 12% ~ no bahhumbugs here ~~Post Script: Shout Out to all YULEtide Treasure Seekers you may have to dig deep for this one, but it`s worth the effort for such a Christmas Classic.***buyit*saveit*shareit*giveit* donateit to the local library***

Fun Holiday Tunes, But...........1998-11-24

Alright, these guys are great musicians & do know how to rock, but lead singer Steve Ripley's voice doesn't do it for me; he sounds like his throat is torn up or something & he doesn't exactly hit all the notes right. I still say he gave it his all, though; and it is alot of fun to play this. I'd have to give The Tractors a B-.

Down-home Christmas Fun!.......1998-10-23

Customer Reviews:

These guys are great!.......2007-02-03

This CD by The Tractors is a great cd whether its Christmas time or not. These guys are good and have made some great music.

The Tractors at their best!.......2006-11-11

Whether it's Christmas or not this is just a must! If you like Country
Rock, Country Blues, Honky Tonk, genuine Rock 'n Roll and mix all this
together with a few ballads, you'll have this CD to experience some
incredible music. OK, it's dedicated to Christmas and the lyrics do
include these seasonal holidays but that's all. The first two songs
are absolutely a knock-out and the rest is pure pleasure as well.
It's comparable to their firts CD, by far the best, called "The Tractors"
from 1994. Not one minor song out of the 12 presented here. Even the
sole piano version of White Christmas is a "different" approach to this
mostly recorded Xmas song ever. This CD can be played and listened to
all year long especially when you need to "rock up" your humour and
soul!

Boogie on, Santa!.......2004-09-23

One December day when I was a kid, I sat in my bedroom armed with a stack of blank cassette tapes, ready to record as many Christmas songs as I could cram onto the tapes, when the DJ announced that the station had received a CD in the mail, mysteriously marked only with the words "the Tractors are coming." Recognizing that the unknown band's CD was good enough to play during that Christmas session, the DJ introduced the song "Santa Claus Boogie." I've long since stopped listening to country music, but I continued to play that tape of "Santa Claus Boogie" over and over for more than a decade of Christmases until the tape snapped. What a great song to introduce that once unknown band!

Must have!.......2002-11-26

This is one rockin' CD! This disc has a little bit of something for everything, from the wonderful piano instrumental White Christmas, to the all-out (& very reminiscent of Don't Ever Take My Picture Down) Swingin' Home For Christmas, to the group's own parody in Santa Claus Is Comin', to a piece of Bethlehem peace in The Shelter. What's best is the non-traditional-ness of this album. Once you put it in your CD player, you won't want the holiday season to end.

SANTA LOOKS A LOT LIKE RIPLEY!!.......2002-11-06

Tractors go Christmas in this, their first holiday release. "Santa Looks A Lot Like Daddy", "Jingle My Bells" and
the remake of Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train as "Santa Claus Is Comin" ar worth the price of this CD alone.

Boogie Woogie Santa Claus
The Big Night
I Was A Bad Boy This Year

The Best Yet!.......2003-01-26

I own all of the Tractor CDs and this is the best yet. As another reviewer stated, if you don't own another Christmas album, make sure you purchase this one. Makes you want to dance, cry, and remember the reason for the season. If you like big band, blues, country, and the Tractors, this is the one!

Reason to Celebrate.......2002-11-24

Let's face it, it was a long difficult summer in the U.S.; plenty of bad stuff came down the pipe. So what could be more in order right now than a great new foot stompin, boogie woogie Christmas album by the band most able to produce it: The Tractors. The Big Night delivers 110%, from rockers like Boogie Woogie Santa Clause and I was a Bad Boy This Year, to the more pensive tones of Bells are Ringing and Mary's Baby. It's a great stocking stuffer, one bound to bring good cheer this holiday season. We can sure use it.

THE Christmas album to buy!.......2002-10-31

Ok, ya got you tree, the stockings are ready to hang and the kids are making lists (and checking them more than twice!). Now what you need is some atmosphere. There are plenty of country Christmas cds to pick from, but how many versions of Little Drummer Boy and Silent Night with strings can folks own?
