"Grace, Too" by The Tragically Hip

Right now a band is making their way across the northern half of North America on an emotional and potentially final tour. Their singer Gord Downie has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

For those of you who don’t know, The Tragically Hip is one of Canada’s prized possessions, a band largely unnoticed by the rest of the world, but a workmanlike group that speaks for millions of Canadians, and one that has handled their success, like most Canadians with modesty.  It is fitting that this tour can only be seen up north.

To be honest, I was not a fan of the Hip’s first three full length releases, but when I heard “Grace, Too” I quickly understood why my friends were taking time off of work to see these guys with fellow Canadian rockers 54-40.
​
“Grace, Too” hints at Gord Downie’s story telling ability, while showcasing the band’s straight ahead heartfelt groove and rock sensibilities. It is my favorite track on Day for Night and although some consider Phantom Power their strongest release, each of their albums offers integrity, solid musicianship, and grace too.
