This came out in 2002 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
It’s only right that the soundtrack to a curling movie would be filled with some heavyweight Canadian rock. And the 15-track companion album to Paul Gross’s film Men With Brooms hits it on the button.
The main attraction, undoubtedly, are the three new tracks from The Tragically Hip — Silver Road, an ambling, rootsy cut featuring Sarah Harmer on vocals; Throwing Off Glass, a piece of darkly jangly dream-pop; and the sombre, offkilter acoustic ballad Oh Honey. But there are other draws: Chantal Kreviazuk’s Leading Me Home, a scratchy electro-ballad co-written with hubby Raine Maida; the folk-poppy Watching Over You, which marks the return of former Winnipegger Holly McNarland; and assorted hits from OLP, New Pornographers, Big Sugar, Tom Wilson and Matthew Good. If it were any more Canadian, it would be on K-Tel.
