5.0 out of 5 stars Best album of "the poets", August 25, 2004

This review is from: Up to Here (Audio CD)

The canadian poets have offered to us their best album "up to here" with their all time classic "New Orleans is sinking", great rock n roll with heavy blues and southern rythms, amazing style a very defined personality , Mr Gordon Downie is a genious also a man with a great inspiration and artistic sensibility, we need more songwritters like him, The Tragically Hip is also a very united band, members have remain the same for over 20 years they havent fall into the trap of fame and their style doesnt change for commercial success , they feel happy with their legion of die hard fans like me that will always love the hip as our little selfish secret

I saw the hip , in 90 or 91 , at the metropolis in harrisburg pa, after hearing airplay of "New Orleans is sinking".... they were the opening act for Eric Johnson"...( another sterling canadian product; along with Rush, Cowboy Junkies, and the RHEOSTATICS ( whom after 16 years of listening to the HIP I find it astronomically impossible to have missed for this long))... 2006 first listen... let's just say I was instantly transormed....best tracks on Up to Here... NO is sinking, Boots or Hearts, Trickle Down... hey!!! check out Rheos Whale Music tracks...1,2,3,9,10,17

One of the best rock n' roll CDs there is. When I heard "New Orleans is Sinking" for the first time I waited for the Hip to break big in the U.S. I still don't know why that didn't happen, but after ten years plus, Up to Here has lost none of its luster. A marvelous combination of straight ahead bluesy rock with sly, heartfelt lyrics. Gord Downie's interesting vocal style blends perfectly with a rambling, imprecise guitar sound. "New Orleans is Sinking" is still one of my all-time favorite songs and I also particularly like "Blow at High Dough", "I'll Believe in You (or I'll Be Leaving You)" and the ballad "38 Years Old", but there isn't a bad song on the CD. I'm glad my local rock station played these guys for a few weeks all those years ago or I would never have heard of them and missed out on this great CD.
