Book

"From the band's early days in the Toronto music scene to their multiple Grammy wins to the aftermath of drummer Neil Peart's death, Rush remains one of the most beloved rock bands of all time. Renowned for their stylistic range, integrity, and legendary technical skill, the band's wry sense of humor and humility have also resonated with fans internationally. After more than four decades and nineteen studio albums, they've produced a rich body of work that continues to enthrall millions of listeners, new and old. From "Xanadu" to "Time Stand Still" and beyond, Cranking Up Rush provides a whirlwind tour of 11 essential Rush tracks. It covers every era of their output -- from their teenage years to their final tour in 2015 -- and highlights what truly makes Rush the Spirit of Radio."-- Provided by publisher.
