This is a gem of an album and shows off the excellent guitar playing of Alex lifeson and at this time Alex was doing a little bit of session work for some Canadian bands his most notable was in 1990 when he guested on Larry Gowans lost brotherhood album which is a good one to
@@bicyclelegsmusic Larry Gowan by the ways is a Canadian musician and he's now known as the keyboardist and vocalist of the current line up of Styx and his musical style is prog rock with a touch of Dennis de Young era Styx strange animal is his most popular album so yeah definitely have fun checking out his music
Thanks for having me on again, bicyclelegs! One thing l neglected to mention was a little more backstory on Edwin and I Mother Earth. They’re also known as IME - for short - and have four studio records from 1993-2003. Their debut album, Dig, features Edwin on vocals and is a Platinum seller in Canada. THIS was the album l saw them tour in ‘94/‘95, that l mentioned during the show. (When IME opened for Dream Theater at The Manhattan Center in NYC.) Their follow up release, Scenery and Fish, also has Edwin singing on the album. This one hit number 10 on the Canadian chart, went Double Platinum in Canada and features some guitar work from Alex Lifeson on the song “Like a Girl.” Aha! The connection is made! Things became strained between the band members of IME and Edwin, so he left the group after the tour for the record. With a new vocalist in tow, the band released their third album, Blue Green Orange. It reached number 8 on the Canadian chart, yet only certified Gold. A gentleman you may know, namely one Geddy Lee, plays bass on the tune “Good for Sule.” The band soldiered on for one more album and then splintered for almost a decade. Nowadays, Edwin is back as the singer in I Mother Earth. There’s no new album yet, but they still play a lot of shows in Canada. They’re definitely worth checking out, for any fan of good, adventurous hard rock, often with a progressive type tinge to it. Edwin’s vocals are more melodic with I Mother Earth than they are on Alex’s Victor release. And no, l don’t work for the band. 😉 Cheers from The Big Apple. Rock Out, Prog On & Pogo!

Discovered your channel through your Crowded House album ranking video and was a nice surprise to see these Rush videos. They're my all-time favourite band and it was fascinating to hear your thoughts as you discovered the catalogue. Thanks for the great content, will be checking out a lot more of your stuff in future!!
Check out the song with Lisa Dalbello singing - the girl that Queensryche covered in 1986!
I mentioned that during the show, Mr. Mike!
You did indeed Davey!
