Lik My Trakter (pronounced "like my tractor") is the first album by the Canadian band the Waltons, released in 1992.[1][2] Initially released independently, it received a national release on Warner Music Canada; it was released by Sire Records in the U.S.[3][4] The band supported the album with a Canadian tour, often playing with Barenaked Ladies.[5] The album was certified gold in Canada.[6]
Production
Recorded in Toronto, the album was produced by John Switzer.[7][8] Many songs reference the band's Regina, Saskatchewan, upbringing.[9] The band was influenced by the songwriting of Andy Partridge.[10] Kim Deschamps played mandolin and guitar on the album.[11] The album title was based on a child's misspelling.[12]
Critical reception
Template:Album ratings The Kitchener-Waterloo Record stated that "the Waltons are best compared to the early '70s country-folk-rockers, with the major updates coming in the form of '90s-style highly ironic lyrics."[13] The Chicago Tribune opined that "the acoustic riffs and relationship lyrics make the record, on the whole, about as exciting as oatmeal."[14] The Fort Worth Star-Telegram concluded that Lik My Trakter is "marred by rhyming-dictionary lyrics and clunky song structures."[15] The Tampa Tribune contended that "Lik My Trakter most closely resembles Christian rock without the religious conviction."[16]
The Toronto Sun deemed the album "one of the finest sets of acoustic pop we've heard since the first Crowded House album."[17] The Buffalo News considered it "filled with the folky, alternative rocking sounds that make the Waltons so refreshing."[18] The Palm Beach Post called it "intelligent, snappy acoustic pop."[19] The Virginian-Pilot determined that the "tight, acoustic, melodic pop seems simple on first listen but more complex with each spin."[20]
AllMusic wrote: " Singer/songwriter Jason Plumb has a fine line in minor-key ballads, but a dozen politely acoustic songs in a row with subtle shadings of lap steel and organ leave the listener itching for something with a little more sonic variety."[21]
