The Tragically Hip - A National Celebration

Review by Kayelyn Harris

A National Celebration by Tragically Hip is an outstanding album that showcases the band's incredible talent and versatility. The album features 17 tracks, each with its unique sound and style, making it a must-have for any rock music lover.

The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "Blow at High Dough," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's signature sound is evident throughout the album, with Gord Downie's smooth vocals and the band's tight instrumentation.

The album also features some of the band's biggest hits, including "New Orleans Is Sinking," "Courage," and "Ahead by a Century." These tracks are a testament to the band's ability to write catchy and memorable songs that have stood the test of time.

The album's standout track is "Bobcaygeon," a hauntingly beautiful song that tells the story of a small town in Ontario. The song's melancholic melody and lyrics are a perfect match for Downie's emotive vocals.
