"Working Man" is the ultimate Rush tribute album, bringing together a world class array of superstars on their respective instruments (and voices) to record Rush covers in the studio. Many Rush fans don't know this project exists, and the CD's are hard to find (some say sold out). When I first bought the album, I almost considered it 'blasphemy' because I thought the self-indulgence went way too far in adding to the original Rush compositions. But it didn't take long to realize that these guys weren't showing off, they were modernizing and paying respect to "beefing up" the ol' classics - and having a great time doing so. Did they ever BEEF THEM UP !! You haven't heard Rush like this before. Big rectifier guitar tones, sweep picking guitar solos, insane bass, insane keyboards, rockstar vocals, and the drums...well they say Neil is a god...how about hearing god thru the ears of some other superstar drummers. It is a freakin' TREAT to hear. It's Rush on steroids, in a good way. Extremely tasty, and chops galore. Combine Moving Pictures with the Rockstar movie... you've got Working Man.

This version of Natural Science is totally amazing - thanks to fellow Canadian DEVIN TOWNSEND with his distinct trippy voice - from weird & wonderful to all-out gravel & growls! The guitars rock with a modern rip of James Murphy. Deen Castronovo tastefully covers most of the drums straight off the original, but spices up the fills. Oh...did I mention Devin ???

Watch my channel for other selected tracks from this album. I might end up posting them all.
