Acting Very Strange
''Acting Very Strange'' is the second solo album by Genesis bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford and the only album to feature him on lead vocals. It was released on 7 September 1982. Unlike the previous album ''Smallcreep's Day'', ''Acting Very Strange'' uses a very raw and unpolished sound. None of the album's singles charted in the US or UK top 100, but the lead single "Maxine" did make US ''Billboard charts'' Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart at No. 37. The song was also a top 40 pop hit in Canada, peaking at No. 39. The album itself was much more successful, reaching number 23 in the UK.〔
==History==
Rutherford opted to do the lead vocals on the album himself, simply because, in his words, "It does feel odd when someone does... a solo album and they don't sing, because the voice is so much the character of a song. So I thought, 'What the hell? I'm gonna give it a shot.'"〔Neer, Dan (1985). ''Mike on Mike'' (LP ), Atlantic Recording Corporation.〕 However, this proved to be easier said than done; he recounted that recording the backing tracks for the album was very easy and enjoyable, but that the vocals were "hard work".〔
Stewart Copeland became involved in the recording because he and Rutherford were on the same polo team. Copeland did session work very rarely during his time in The Police. Recording his drums at The Farm gave them a unique sound not found on any other recordings.
Looking back on ''Acting Very Strange'' in later years, Rutherford was not proud of the album, saying he felt that the songs were very good but poorly executed on the actual recordings. He singled out "Hideaway" as the only track which he felt worked.〔 Dissatisfaction with his solo work in general, and with his vocals in particular, prompted Rutherford to form Mike + The Mechanics.〔 (However, Rutherford did record one more solo track titled "Making a Big Mistake", which appears on the soundtrack to "Against All Odds" and features much stronger vocals from him than are heard on ''Acting Very Strange''.)
