Gordon Downie - Coke Machine Glow download free

Debut solo release from TRAGICALLY HIP lead vocalist and creative force, Gordon Downie.Definately not your typical up-tempo rocking Tragically Hip recording.....yet this has to be an essential listen to any of the band's or Downie's fans or followers.While his next two solo efforts would much more closely resemble his output with the Hip, this debut (recorded in May 2000 just before his "Music at Work" release with the Tragically Hip) is filled with dreary, downer lyrics that are both reflective & poetic, with soft ballads & dreamy atmospheric vibes. The 15 tracks here clearly support the claim that (with or without the Tragically Hip), Downie feels what he plays and he writes what he thinks.Gordon Downie (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars), The Skydiggers guitarist Josh Finlayson (acoustic guitar), Dale Moringstar (electric guitar, piano, organ), Travis Good (fiddle), former Cowboy Junkie Jaro Czerwinec (accordion), the Barenaked Ladies' Kevin Hearn (keyboards), Jose Contreras (organ), Steven Drake (bass) and with Tragically Hip bandmate Paul Laglois and The Rheostatics' Dave Clark & Don Kerr.Co-produced by Steven Drakes of "The Odds"
