Paul Rogers - A Tribute To Muddy Waters

Rush debut album.

Hard to believe, based on the later albums, but they started out as  hard rock power trio.

I first heard them in spring of 1974 while in college in a small western Pennsylvania school on the Ohio border on the Cleveland radio station WMMS-FM. The school  was two hours east of Cleveland and you could only barely get reception of that legendary  Rock station at night after the sun went down with a crappy Y-antenna that came with my Sansui 661 receiver.

I loved that first album and still have my original vinyl from 1974 but lost interest as they got more and more progressive.
