Saw Captain Tractor for the first time last night as a new Albertan, and was disappointed to learn after months of wondering which Edmonton hill "Up the Hill" is about that it's actually about a place in Calgary. #yeg #captaintractor

Friday December 8, the word is Yellow

Artist: Captain Tractor
Song: Just The Other Day
Album: North of The Yellowhead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze_Fxiyz5v4

The Yellowhead Highway runs through Edmonton, west to Jasper, east to Saskatoon. (Most of Edmonton is south of it, actually, but Grande Prairie, my home town and that of founding Captain Tractor member Chris Wynters, is far to the north.)

This song was originally done by another Edmonton band, Jr. Gone Wild, about which I know relatively little. But this is the version that I have in my collection (and the one on an album with "Yellow" in the name).
