Free Music Review: An Iconic National Treasure
Hit: 5 Stars
Tom Rush has been a part of my musical world since I was first introduced to Circle Game those many years ago- 35, could it be? He is an icon in my world, along with those he introduced to folk music, James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell. Joni wrote Circle Game but Tom Rush recorded it first-and this CD is a little like a Circle Game, 30 years after his last CD, he recorded, 'This I Know'.
This CD is more joyous than his previous CD's, you might not think so from the title, but it has more fun from the opening track 'Hot Tonight' to the last 'Drift Away'. Tom Rush tried to retire but he says 9 months of riding circles in his tractor convinced him that he wasn't set out for retirement.
The 15 tracks on this CD are all glorious. The first track, 'Hot Tonight' ii is said is an outtake of an old Sam Cooke song 'Wonderful World' it opens the CD to a bounce. 'River Song' was written by Tom Rush and the words are so lovingly written. Nanci Griffith sings with Tom on the track 'Casey Jones,' and Emmylou Harris takes charge on 'Too Many Memories'. My favorite is 'What An Old Lover Knows' and speaks of familiarity of the known. 'One Good Man' is a raucous song of what a woman is looking for, 'round the world. Remember the old song 'Drift Away', Tom Rush brings a new melody and feeling to it. "Give me the people to free my soul, I want to get lost in your rock n' roll and drift away'. And he does, he frees our soul.
Why did it take Tom Rush 30 years to record a new CD? James Taylor, a great admirer of Tom Rush, gives us some insight when he says this of him, "He's definitely an unsung hero in popular culture, but I think Tom was as central a figure to folk music as Dylan and Woody Guthrie, But he was part of music right as it was becoming a cash cow in a corporate way. Tom just didn't have the stomach for it. He didn't interface well with that. He wasn't about making money off his music - at least that was always my feeling."
My best friend relates to one of Tom Rush's most famous songs 'No Regrets' and along with Circle Game and so many more, how could we ever have regrets with Tom Rush? He lives within my heart since I first heard him in 1968.
Highly Recommended. prisrob 03-17-09
