🎷 Molly Johnson Releases "Long Time Running with Jim Cuddy" 🎷
Kensington Market Jazz Festival founder Molly Johnson has released a powerful new interpretation of “Long Time Running” with Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo.
Originally written by The Tragically Hip, the iconic Canadian song is reimagined in an intimate and soulful new recording released through Universal Music Canada. Recorded at Blue Rodeo’s Woodshed Studio, the track features Molly’s longtime trio — Davide Di Renzo (drums), Mike Downes (bass), and Robi Botos (piano) — with special guest Jimmy Bowskill on guitar.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Molly shares:
“This has been a long time coming. I’ve always wanted to record a duet with Jim. We’ve been friends for years, so to finally collaborate on a song by our beloved The Tragically Hip feels like real magic.”
The recording offers a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of Gord Downie while bringing together two of Canada’s most celebrated voices.
Listen to “Long Time Running” now, available everywhere.
