This string quartet tribute to Rush delivers 12 instrumental versions of the Canadian power trio's material, focusing mainly on their breakthrough years of 1975-1981. Given the band's penchant for grandiosity, their material lends itself particularly well to the violin, viola, cello, and bass. Of course, Neil Peart's drum fills aren't replicated, nor are his lyrical flights of fancy. But hits like "Tom Sawyer," "Spirit of Radio," and "Freewill" retain their resonance, while the melodies of "A Passage to Bangkok," "Xanadu," and especially "Red Barchetta" only seem to get stronger in this format. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

Guitarist Wilbert Longmire and George Benson were friends, and Benson introduced him to Bob James. James was starting Tappan Zee and looking for artists to sign. Longmire made the debut release Sunny Side Up in 1978, and came back the next year with Champagne. Neither generated much interest, but the third release, With All My Love, got some radio action for the instrumental "Hawkeye." Longmire studied to be a barber before opting for a musical career. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
