Welcome to Backtracking – the podcast where two old friends take a second listen to influential bands' catalogs. For our first season, we've selected none other than Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Rush.

We want to hear from listeners… dear God, please! Contact us with comments, corrections, hilarious anecdotes, solicitations for bitcoin, and your favorite Rush concert photos. Our electronic mail address is [email protected].
