About this title

Review

"Taking beloved cuts from Canada's house band and, well, twisting them up into fictional stories that shine an entirely new spotlight on some of the songs that have been the soundtrack to our lives... ...established fans will enjoy the new slants to some of their favorite songs as well as the photos of Gord and the boys. If you're new to the Hip, this is a pretty unique introduction." 

-Ottawa Life Magazine

“A great coffee table book... ... whether or not you have a coffee table, it’s a wonderful piece of inspiration.”

-Charles Adler, Charles Adler Tonight

"It's quite good! It's a very interesting take on a lot of the Tragically hip songs."

-John Garbutt, Q107 Radio, Toronto

"The range in styles, genres and emotions in the stories is incredible. Each story is its own world, and its own great read - some feel mythic, some slapstick, and some very very real and personal. A great collection of stories." 

-Matthew Mather, bestselling author of Cyberstorm and Atopia
