They started under the name <b>The Way We Live</b> and released one album, <i>A Candle for Judith</i>, in 1971. After the name change, they released the eponymous <b>Tractor</b> album in 1972. Their music at the time was a mishmash of folky stuff, prog rock, and good ol' hard rock. Both albums are pretty damn excellent.<br /><br />Between the <i>Tractor</i> album and the single you've presented, there was only one other release, the "No More Rock'n'Roll" single in 1977. "Average Man's Hero" was released in 1981 and the b-side sounds like a throwback as it dates from 1975. IMO, it's the nadir of their career (I've got several CDs and records compiling various material spanning the late 60s through the early 2000s).<br /><br />For more info, Ozit/Morpheus Records has a section of their website devoted to <a href="http://www.tractor-ozit.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>Tractor/The Way We Live</b></a>, with a lengthy biography and extensive (plus confusing) discography.Lightning Baltimorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505090339258010741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647347951643678479.post-31442151868797539312011-07-02T23:04:11.500-07:002011-07-02T23:04:11.500-07:00The first track is quite catchy, in almost abstrus...The first track is quite catchy, in almost abstruse ways, yet it works.
