    Geddy Lee has got to be the greatest rocker in the world. He has been playing for 30 years now and not one of the albums he has been a part of has been shabby. For those who don't know this, Geddy Lee (along with Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart from Ru...sh) is the Ambassador of Music for Canada(dubbed so in 1979), and he sure as hell lived up to his title (which Rush quite deservedly earned recently after the release of their eighth record release Hemispheres{1978}).With songs like My Favorite Headache, The Present Tense, Home On The Strange, and Grace To Grace on the album, even people who can't get into Rush's sound will find themselves rockin' out to these fine melodic strains. Tunes like Working At Perfekt and Moving To Bohemia will give Rush fans just what they wanted to hear, purtaining to Rush's old progressive style. I have not been made aware of a more complete musician than Geddy Lee. He has stood the test of time and can still rock with the best of them. I should give the record a 6 star rating because it deserves it.I faithfully await the next Rush release, which I expect to be along the same lines as Test For Echo, even though I long for another epic like Xanadu or Necromancer.Don't sleep with gum in your mouth.

    Aside from the 1998 live set Different Stages, not much was heard from Rush after their tour wrapped up in support of their last studio album two years prior, Test for Echo. But in 2000, Rush fans starving for some new material got their wish when bassist/singer Geddy Lee issued his first-ever solo album, My Favorite Headache. Lee is joined by ex-Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron (who sounds almost identical to Rush drummer Neal Peart) and ex-FM guitarist/violinist Ben Mink, and both help Lee craft a record that resembles what a new Rush album would've sounded like. The album-opening title track is unquestionably the best cut here -- a cacophonic Primus-ish hard rock section switches with a laid-back, symphonic piece -- while such rockers as "The Present Tense," "Working at Perfekt," "Home of the Strange," and the ballad "Slipping" could've easily fit on such '90s Rush albums as Counterparts and Test for Echo. My Favorite Headache will help hold over longtime fans of the Canadian prog t...rio. - Greg Prato, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Geddy Lee

Few hard rock bassists have been as influential as Rush's Geddy Lee. Born Gary Weinrib on July 29, 1953, in Toronto, his parents migrated from Europe to Canada and got his nickname "Geddy" from when his mother would try to pronounce "Gary" in her accent. Taking up bass as a teenager and influenced by the likes of the Who's John Entwistle, Cream's Jack Bruce, and Led Zep... Read more
