Two musicians, so much sound

"Give this piece a listen and you won't believe that two musicians could possibly create such a sound, yet Jim Milne and Steve Clayton succeeded in this grossly unnoticed, wonderful slice of prime rock and roll. Recorded as The Way We Live, Milne and Clayton have gone on to record many albums under the moniker, Tractor, and continue to release recordings as I write this. This special anniversay edition of "A Candle For Judith" is loaded with bonus tracks, but the album is well worth the asking price even without these tasty additions. Milne must surely be one of the best guitarists in rock history, and it is no accident that Jack White of the White Stripes makes no bones about the fact that the Stripes were greatly inspired by Tractor/The Way We Live. Get this disc while it is stil in print. There are no wasted moments on this classic. This is one that belongs in every rock fan's collection. Milne's guitar work and voice along with Clayton's percussion make for a rich, full bodied sound that is rarely achieved. The Ozit label is doing a great job of keeping this classic rock duo/band in circulation. Pick up a copy at all costs. You'll be most satisfied."
