Description

Rush is the debut studio album from Canadian rock trio Rush. Released in 1974, the album showcases the band's early hard rock sound and features the fan-favourite track "Working Man", which helped establish their reputation in North America. Drawing inspiration from blues-rock and heavy rock acts of the era, the album captures the raw energy and musicianship that would later evolve into Rush's distinctive progressive rock style.
