Any particular favorite treasures I should dig for first? Presently got Grace, Too, Wheat Kings, and Blow at High Dough on heavy repeat.
If you haven't yet, watch Long Time Running. And then listen to Long Time Running with your heart breaking over and over and over again.

Damn near killed me.
Know them well. So many to choose from but 2 of my faves that are slightly 'under the radar':
Springtime in Vienna
So Hard Done By
The only album I've had of theirs is Road Apples, and I love it. I don't know why I haven't listened to more. I should.
“Looking for a Place to Happen” was the song that brought me back to them after decades.
Up To Here is one of my all time fav albums, start to finish. Trickle Down is especially enjoyable. Love those guys, great band and Gord was a great poet.
