Mettre la charrue devant les boeufs is rooted in the basic elements of American folklore and bears witness to both a mastery of these traditions and a great sense of freedom. Fuelled by bluegrass and swing, it acts as a short journey between tradition and modernity that will delight scoundrels and yodeling enthusiasts alike.

For her first official EP, Margaret Tracteur surrounds herself with a constellation of top-tier accomplices. In addition to the band featuring Danny Roach on upright bass and Claude Amar on violin, it is a great pleasure to hear the talented Lucas Choi Zimbel (Street Meat) on guitar as well as Kevin Moquin (Bad Uncle) on dobro. Recording, mixing, and production were handled by Pi Cutler (The Steady Swagger, Les Royal Pickles, The Unsettlers), and the vinyl version of the six-track EP also includes three remixed tracks from her first self-produced mini-album.

The EP Mettre la charrue devant les boeufs, as the title suggests, does not claim to be a work with meticulously calculated arrangements, but rather a spontaneous manifestation of the creativity of the musicians involved, juxtaposed with the slightly unpredictable ideas of Gabrielle Bégin.
