Solo Debut from Lead Singer of The Tragically Hip! Whether as a poet, a solo artist, or the lead singer of Canadian superstars The Tragically Hip, Gordon Downie tells truly remarkable stories. His lyrics are filled with imagery at once familiar and exotic, applied with the subtle brush strokes of a master painter. Coke Machine Glow is Downie's first solo album (and is also the title of his recently published book of poetry). Stylistically diverse, and yet movingly simple in its arrangements, the album's shimmering music provides the perfect backdrop for Downie's beautiful, uncynical lyrics. Coke Machine Glow demonstrates that Gordon Downie is an accomplished poet whose verse also makes for great songs.
