TOM RUSH - THE CIRCLE GAME 1968 / TOM RUSH 1970

Tom Rush came up in the Boston/Cambridge folk scene of the early '60s, playing folk-blues on a series of albums for Prestige Records, then moved to Elektra, and by the late '60s was interpreting the work of such upcoming writers as Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. By the early '70s, he was mixing his own songs on albums for Columbia. In recent years, Rush has become something of a folk packager, putting together road shows that include some of the newer folk performers. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

  1. Tom Rush's "Circle Game" lp was such milestone for folk rock to the late 60's generation. It introduced many of us to songwriters Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Jackson Browne before they even recorded. Tom Rush is also a great interpreter of song, and this lp is a must.

    Also highly advised is Tim Buckley's "Happy Sad" from the same time.

    Many thanks for your great blog, and all your hard work!

  3. its great to see these two records packaged together. they are my favorite tom rush albums. is there a reason that 'child's song' was left off of this collection? it's the last song on the self titled album..
