Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Though not as celebrated as many of the artists he preceded and, indeed, introduced to the world, Tom Rush stands as one of the chief architects of the singer-songwriter boom of the early 1970s. Though he began recording in 1962 as a blues-influenced folkie, Rush came into his own later in the decade when he uncovered tunes by a slew of nascent songwriters, including Jackson Browne ("Jamaica, Say You Will"). Rush came across an unknown Joni Mitchell in a Detroit nightclub and promptly included three of her songs on his popular The Circle Game record. The 17-song No Regrets spans Rush's career, closing with a tasty 1999 recording featuring Shawn Colvin. Rush handpicked the tracks for this retrospective and he's reestablished his signature tunes with a care that old fans and newcomers alike will appreciate. --Steven Stolder Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Great SongsAs a long time Tom Rush fan, I agree with all the reviewers here of "No Regrets". It really is a fabulous collection! His voice has such a soothing effect on me. I just lay back and close my eyes and for a little while, I am transported to a serene place. When my mother had died suddenly when I was 15, I remember my older sister (who got me interested in Tom Rush) always played his music. Well, "Drivin' Wheel" had just come out, I believe, and I grabbed her LP of Tom Rush's when she was out one night and played that song loud. I could just picture the guy's car broken down and he's in the middle of a snowstorm, calling his wife/girlfriend on a pay phone, to tell her he loves her and he is trying to get to her. ("I gave my promise I'd ... Read More: Rating: - Great songs endure. Only the date changes. And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return, we can only look Behind from where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game When Joni Mitchell showed those lyrics to Tom Rush, she was a 23-year-old nobody. He was the most famous folk singer ever to graduate from Harvard --- the king of a category of one. But he had a record deal, and she was two years away from one. And so, when it came time for him to go into the studio again, he not only used three of Mitchell's songs, he took "The Circle Game" as the title of that 1968 record. 1968. If you're of a certain age, that year sparks ... Read More: Rating: - The Very Best of Tom RushFor all Tom Rush fans of old and new this really IS the very best! Rating:  - One or two regrets (but not big ones)I can't add much to the other reviews, but I'll have to second another reviewer's comment that the lushly orchestrated version of "No Regrets" that was included in the record was inferior to the stark, spare version Mr. Rush originally issued. And I, too, miss Bo Diddly's "Who Do You Love?" and wish that Mr. Rush could have found room for it. But this CD would be a keeper for the "Lost my Driving Wheel" track alone, largely thanks to the incomparable David Bromberg, whose masterful slide guitar slices right through to the heart of the piece; I simply can't imagine the song without it. And thanks for "Urge for Going" ... the definitive version of the song, even though I find Dave van Ronk's take on it equally compelling (although neither ... Read More: Rating: - Can it get any Better?I have been a long time fan of Tom Rush having 5 of his albums on vinyl. It was time to have his most popular songs on CD without the scratches and pops. I couldn't resist spending the money on Tom Rush - Tom Rush and The Circle Game. Now my life is complete. All are 5 stars! |
