The tractor's engine idles like a small, satisfied animal as you slide onto a bench behind a red, barn-shaped cab in The Gulch. Wind cuts through the open-air trailer and the city arrives in layers: a tangle of guitar riffs from a sidewalk busker, the metallic gleam of the Cumberland River, the copper dome of the Tennessee State Capitol framed against a wide sky. For two hours the driver nudges the tractor through neighborhoods and broad avenues; the guide narrates with the steady cadence of someone who lives where the music was made.
