  • Captain Tractor is a Canadian folk rock band, based in Edmonton, Alberta. They play a punk-influenced variant of Celtic folk music, similar to such bands as Great Big Sea, The Pogues or Spirit of the West. Their songs are often rich in local, cultural, and geographical references. The band's most famous songs have been renditions of the folk music classics "The Log Driver's Waltz" and "Drunken Sailor", as well as a cover of the Arrogant Worms' "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate". This song has become so popular that many fans believe, wrongly, that it is of their own creation (others still often misattribute the cover version to The Arrogant Worms). However, they have also developed a strong following for their powerful brand of uniquely Canadian rock, with well-received singles such as "Up the Hill", "Frozen Puck to the Head", "This Is Not a Sad Song", "Another Drinking Song", and "The Bastard of Strathcona County". In celebration of the band's 10th anniversary, Alley Kat Brewing Company released "Captain Tractor Yellowhead Wheat Ale".
