the tragically Hip, “something on”
from: phantom power, 1998
My appreciation for this band and the abundant talents of the late Gord Downie has been growing steadily. Not that I have devoured all their records, but high among them is Phantom Power, which I learned is not an exaggerated idea of your personal strength, but DC electric power equally applied to both signal wires in balanced microphone cables! Ok. That said, I could have easily chosen 6 songs from this 12 song Juno award winning lp for your perusal. Mr. Downie touched a personal and national nerve in Canada and beyond. He will enfold you. Give a listen.
