about

One of the earliest bands that got my attention was Rush, and it was their mid-80's output that first turned me on. Those are the albums that I still gravitate towards, and those songs are part of the fabric of my life. I;m not sure what inspired this set, but it was probably just a result of sitting around and jamming on something that called to mind one of these songs, and then it snowballed from there. I would not in a million years even suggest that these takes do any justice whatsoever to the originals (so all you die hard Rush fans that take the band far too seriously, you can zip it right now). Instead, this is just me having a bit of fun. All of these tracks were recorded as voice memos on my iPhone and, as is usually the case when I devote an entire session to one band or artist, this took just about as long to record as it takes to listen. I'm pretty sure that I didn't even really work out these arrangements, instead just winging it and playing them in a way that allowed me to sing the songs, without getting all fiddly. Not great but this was fun, and that is literally the only thing that matters.
