Our Take

Ah, yes, the Tragically Hip - a band whose name perfectly encapsulates the rollercoaster of emotions you experience when listening to their music. And now, we're celebrating the 30th anniversary of their iconic album "Road Apples" with a juicy deluxe edition.

From start to finish, this album is a plethora of gritty guitars, soulful vocals, and lyrics that hit you right in the feels. It's like a musical road trip through Canada, with each track serving as a pit stop for your emotions to refuel.

The deluxe edition gives us a glimpse into the band's creative process with demos and alternate versions of the songs. It's like hearing the inner workings of a musical masterpiece, like peeking behind the curtain at Oz, if Oz was a dive bar in Ontario.

The real star of this album, though, is frontman Gord Downie's vocals. His voice is a mix of honey and gravel, smooth one minute and gritty the next. It's like listening to a wise old whiskey-drinking troubadour, spinning tales of love, loss, and everything in between.

In conclusion, "Road Apples" is a timeless classic that deserves to be celebrated. So pour yourself a glass of Canadian whisky, put on this album, and let the Tragically Hip take you on a journey through their musical landscape. Cheers, eh?

About the artist

The Tragically Hip

Tragically Hip are Canadian national treasures, a band whose name alone conjures up images of sweaty arena shows and anthemic rock tunes. Fronted by the enigmatic Gord Downie, the band became synonymous with Canadian pride and poetic storytelling over their three-decade career. These Canuck heroes first burst onto the scene in the late 80s, capturing the hearts of fans with their unique blend of folk-rock and Americana influences. With iconic hits like "Bobcaygeon" and "Courage," Tragically Hip solidified themselves as one of the most beloved bands in Canada and beyond. But what truly sets Tragically Hip apart is Downie's mesmerising stage presence. The man is a force of nature, captivating audiences with his quirky dance moves and impassioned vocals. His lyrics are both cryptic and poignant, often drawing on Canadian history and culture for inspiration. Despite their immense success in their home country, Tragically Hip never quite broke through in the US. But that's part of their charm - they're a hidden gem, a band that you feel privileged to know about. Tragically Hip's legacy lives on, even after Downie's tragic passing in 2017. Their music continues to resonate with fans old and new, a testament to the timeless quality of their songwriting. So next time you're feeling a bit nostalgic for those hazy summer nights of your youth, throw on a Tragically Hip record and let the music transport you back to a simpler time. Just make sure you have a cold beer in hand - it's what Gord would have wanted.
