Wow! I do like that song. Sounds like my kind of music. Actually, I recognize
the playing technique of the person who plays the acoustic rhythm guitar, since
it sounds like he plays with his fingers and not a pick. That’s the way I
play. I heard it also in the Bob Seeger and John Fogerty song on Fogerty’s
Wrote A Song for Everyone. John noted in his Fortunate Son book that Bob’s
playing with his fingers and not a pick, sound was more of a muffled sound
rather than the bright sound of a picker. So, I’ve been listening for that
sound, since that’s the way I play. I guess I’m not good enough of a musician
to have recognized that before. I did notice that John Jacques playing sounds
different than mine, but lately I’ve noticed it more by various artists.

No, the Tragically Hip are not a heavy rock band! It is surprising that they
are not well-known everywhere, since they are an extremely popular band and
have been around for a very long time! But since they are not 'Merican, they
wouldn't be played in the US.
Here is one of their better-known songs; I'll try to post another one soon.
