This is probably the most exposure Les Cowboys Fringants have gotten outside of Quebec, but they deserve a wider reach from their néo-trad musical style that draws on folk and rock influences.
The reigning champions of the Juno Awards Francophone category, the group released new music in 2024 to accompany a musical, Pub Royal, that featured their music. That album is absolutely a 2025 nominee, by the way.
This was the last album to feature Karl Tremblay, the band's lead vocalist. He passed away from prostate cancer in 2023. The song does feature vocals by Tremblay, and was written by blacground vocalist and rhythm guitarist Jean-François Pauzé.
I hope it's clear by the title that this was probably the last thing Tremblay recorded. It is a POWERFUL performance.
