Hard Rock from USA (Canton, Ohio) Song recorded 1980 Info from Dan Hellers blogpost These two songs are a departure in so many ways. First, it features a different singer, who happened to be a truck driver we met in a bar on a freezing winter night in February in Massillon Ohio. He had a really strong voice, so we brought him into the studio, and sure enough, he was able to do nice covers of Rush, so we liked him. As it happened, there was also another guitar player involved in this song, whom I vaguely remember and can visualize, but I have no other memory of who he was or where he came from. He was probably a friend of either Eric or Terry. In the end, we all decided to collaborate on writing two songs, and these two are the result of that. There was lots to love about these songs at the time. One incorporated a ⅞ time signature, coupled with interesting chord progressions and volleying guitar leads between me and this other guy. It felt good when we played it live, but I later realized these songs were largely a mess. We never saw either the singer or the guitar player after the recording. Not sure why. Maybe we ran out of beer.
