Barbara Mandrell - Sure Feels Good Audio CD

A fine slab of NRBQ/Dave Edmunds-style country-inflected rock & roll, 2001's Fast Girl is another typically enjoyable album from the Tractors. Like their namesake farm equipment, the Tractors are never flashy, and they're built more for comfort than speed.

In these surroundings, even stylistic experiments like the extended jam that closes the otherwise ultra-poppy "Ready to Cry" make perfect sense.
