Hip fans don’t question that “Fiddler’s Green” and “Wheat Kings” are fantastic songs, but they’ve never sounded as crisp as they do here; and the acoustic interplay between Bobby Baker and Paul Langois is far more intricate than most will have remembered (the guitar separation between headphones is especially acute).
I’d heartily recommend the Tragically Hip to anyone desiring that most old-school of entities; a solid, honest to goodness rock band that came of age in an era pre-dating the internet hype machine, earning their rabid following through endless touring and quality releases.
