Coke Machine Glow is the first solo album released by Gordon Downie, the singer for The Tragically Hip. It was released in 2001.
Early copies of the album were released as a joint package with a book by Downie, also titled Coke Machine Glow. The book included the song lyrics from the album and other poetry. As a result of the album's sales, the book is one of the best-selling volumes of poetry ever published by a Canadian writer.
Downie's backing band on Coke Machine Glow was credited as "the Goddamned Band". Participating musicians included Julie Doiron, Josh Finlayson, Atom Egoyan and members of The Dinner Is Ruined.
An online music publication formed in 2002 was named after the album.
All tracks written by Gord Downie unless otherwise noted.
