Old School TRACTOR Rhythm!! Traktorblues

Tractor blues, folks!! I just HAD to play along with this one!! This is a rather unusual little tractor, rare in Sweden and elsewhere, built in the late 1910′s and early 20′s by the Midwest Engine Company of Indianapolis, USA. It plows, harrows, cultivates.. AND it provides cool rhythm for ol’timey blues music, haha!! Awesome! After seeing this in a Swedish tractor magazine and realizing it actually was to be found in my own hometown of all places, I felt I had to try to do a video clip. Contacted the owner Olle Arvidsson and we decided to make the film. Good friend Oskar Arhusiander does the driving here. Featuring my RESOLIAN from Republic Guitars, Texas.. Slide used is a TriboTone!

    Thanks for the vid bottleneck john, 5cts sounds like a resonable price for the use of a tractor of this caliber, Throw in a couple of great musicans and you’re in for a real treat.

    Great soulful blues like this are always fun to listen to. I noticed that the utilitor said “Indianapolis U.S.A.” Thats where I’m from and tryin to keep the blues alive here in Indy.
