One of the biggest conversations behind the mic to date. This week on Dropped Among This Crowd, Sara J. welcomes legendary guitarist for The Tragically Hip, Paul Langlois.In this definitive, career-spanning conversation, Paul joins the show to reflect on the legacy of The Hip, stepping into the solo spotlight, and finding a renewed fire for live music.We kick things off with a beautiful trip down memory lane, as Paul recalls just how deeply The Hip loved Buffalo—and drops the heartbreaking revelation that the Queen City would have been the absolute first stop on their final tour if they had been able to cross into the States.From deep-dive track structures to raw, honest reflections on life, family, and the present moment, this is an absolute must-listen for new and lifelong Hip fans alike.Inside the Conversation:The Solo Evolution: Tracking Paul's sonic journey from his 2010 solo debut Fix This Head to his brilliant new 2026 album Smooth Rock Falls—including the deep family ties and the connection to Bill Barilko.The 5-out-of-5 Rule: How the band protects their legacy by requiring a unanimous vote on everything they ever put their name on.The Final Tour Live Release: A look at how the tracks were chosen for the highly anticipated upcoming final tour live EP release, and how Bruce Dickinson stepped in to handle the daunting task.Adapting to the Quiet: Paul speaks candidly about navigating his life and musical career while being totally deaf in his right ear since 2011.The Definitive Record: Why Paul points directly to Road Apples as the one album he would play for someone if they “wanted to hear my band.”The Early Years: Revisiting the formative club days, saxophonist Davis Manning, and the legendary Copper Penny show.Nerding Out on "The Depression Suite": Sara gets Paul to break down the complex, multi-movement structure of one of her personal favourite pieces of music (and leaves him with some official homework!)Plus: Paul talks about the new production “It’s a Good Life If You Don’t Weaken,” his early musical influences from his mom, how Gord shaped his singing, what he reads in his spare time, and what he has on deck for a busy summer of returning to the live stage.Follow DATC Media:https://datcmediacompany.comhttps://www.facebook.com/datcmediahttps://www.instagram.com/datcmediacompany/Follow Dropped Among This Crowd Podcast:https://www.instagram.com/droppedamongthiscrowdpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/droppedamongthiscrowd/Email: droppedamongthiscrowdpod@gmail.comBook a conversation on "Dropped among this Crowd": https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastFollow Sara J:https://www.facebook.com/sara.till41/https://www.instagram.com/sarajachimiak/Donate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportJoin the community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/gift
