Rush's 'Vapor Trails' Due In May
Canadian power trio Rush has set a May 14 release date for its upcoming Anthem/Atlantic album, "Vapor Trails." As previously reported, the set was recorded in Toronto, with band members Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart serving as producers and longtime collaborator Paul Northfield engineering. A North American tour in support of "Vapor Trails" is expected to begin in June.
The new album, the follow-up to 1996's "Test for Echo," features 13 tracks. Opener "One Little Victory" is described by the label as "propulsive," while "Sweet Miracle" is said to be "emotive," and "How It Is" has been deemed "kinetic." A first single has not yet been announced.
"Test for Echo" was a No. 5 hit on The Billboard 200, with its title track vaulting to No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and "Half the World" reaching No. 6 on the same tally. "Different Stages," a three-CD live album spanning shows from 1978, 1994, and 1997, bowed at No. 35 on The Billboard 200 in November 1998. Lee released his Atlantic solo debut, "My Favorite Headache," in December 2000.
Drummer Neil Peart has also written a new book called " Ghost Rider", a 400 plus page book on his experiences on the road and off the road during Rush's Test For Echo tour, and the experiences of losing his daughter Selena in 1997 who was killed in a car crash in Ontario. As well as the sudden death of his wife Jacqueline 10 months later from cancer. The book will expose a 5 year black out by Peart on his emotions and recovery of the loss in his life.
Peart remarried in 2000 to photographer Carrie Nutall and reside in Santa Barbara, California where Peart relocated to moving from his Ontario home.
Here is the tracklist for "Vapor Trails":
"One Little Victory"
"Peaceable Kingdom"
"Ghost Rider"
"Ceiling Unlimited"
"The Stars Look Down"
"How It Is"
"Vapor Trail"
"Out of the Cradle"
"Earthshine"
"Sweet Miracle"
"Nocturne"
"Freeze (Part IV of 'Fear')"
"Secret Touch"

I will have to select a show where we can have all the Rush Freepers meet. I usually do the Grateful Dead thing and follow Rush for awhile on the road. Until the fantasy world ends and reality begins again..lol.

A pleasant-faced man steps up to greet you
he smiles and says he's pleased to meet you
beneath his hat the strangeness lies
take it off; he's got three eyes...
stuck in the 70s here...

I can't wait for the Vapor Trails tour. I'd even go across the border to Windsor to see them. I can't wait for the album. My Retrospective I and II tapes are pretty much worn out...
