“It Can't Be Nashville Every Night” by The Tragically Hip

"It Can't Be Nashville Every Night" turns up on In Between Evolution, the Tragically Hip's ninth studio album, released in 2004 after sessions at Studio X in Seattle with Adam Kasper producing and Sam Hofstedt engineering. The writing credit goes to the band as a whole, and on the record Gord Downie sings, Rob Baker and Paul Langlois play electric guitars, Gord Sinclair plays bass and Johnny Fay drums.

The song found a second, stranger stage on Canadian television: in a season-two episode of the sitcom Corner Gas, the Hip turned up playing a local outfit that rents Brent Leroy's garage to rehearse, and banged out a rough version of it. The album around it, partly a response to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, debuted at number one in Canada and went platinum there by September.
