Ep. 45: Power Windows - Rush (feat. Rachel Brown)

That's right. Another Rush album! What a shock. Destin and Drew are joined yet again by the phenomenal Rachel Brown to discuss the "80s Rush sound" that pervades the 1985 release Power Windows. Along with a careful look at how Geddy Lee's voice matured over the years, these three discuss the important contributions of producer Peter Collins, the concepts presented from masterful wordsmith and lyricist Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson's incredible guitar work that is often overlooked, especially in such a synth-laden era of Rush's catalogue. And to top it all off, the Prog Notes team pontificates on Hugh Syme's evocative album artwork on another addition of Illustrations and Impressions. Buckle up. In this episode, it's all Rush, all the time. No exceptions.
