"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?Me, I wanna shuffle around my tree and the kids fall asleep listening to some to the tripe that comes out of Nashville these days. Thank goodness itself for Steve Ripley and the Tractors. This new album, "The Big Night" is everything that those production line Nashvile albums are not. Real music with soul. Good players laying down licks with an icy helping of Santa spirit to boot. This is the only Christmas disc you need to shovel out any dough for this year. Save the rest for the kids lengthy lists and the Ripley solo album!"

Reason to Celebrate

"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 Best Yet!

"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!"
