This album is a statement for a generation of students who were truly blessed to have grown up in a wonderfully mixed musical environment.
Folk music was a small part of what would prove to be a road to all kinds of music. My girlfriend was lucky enough to experience a Tom Rush concert at her school and than buy me the album which I instantly loved and continue to love.

Tom Rush-A lovely voice, A good man,

I was lucky, I heard some of Tom's songs when his earliest works were released, I was in High School and my bandmate made sure that I paid attention.
What a beautiful voice he has, coupled with a timing to his phrasings that is so compelling, a thing that can not be taught, it comes from within.
By the time I was a sophomore in college, Ohio University 1970, I owned all of his recorded works. Then I found out that he was coming to OU to play. We sat on the floor of a small room in the Student Union. Tom and his bandmates stood at the front of the same floor (no stage) and entertained us in his own way. It was a wonderful night in 1970. I never got up the nerve to go and talk to him and tell him how much I appreciated his work.
Somewhere in the 1980’s Tom played his guitar and sang, with no backup, at a small restaurant in Columbus, Ohio which was where I lived. Of course I was in attendance, and I overcame my nerves and found him on a break and told him how important his music was to me.
If you don’t know much about Tom, start with his self titled album: “Tom Rush", and then his album: “Wrong end of the Rainbow”.
These 2 albums will reach out and touch you. Then go look for his other albums. He is a treasure.
Stunning

I received a reel-to-reel tape from my brother in 1970 with this album. The first song was "Driving Wheel." I was absolutely stunned. I still feel that everything in the world stops when I put that song on. Tom Rush at his best with material from songwriters who had not yet recorded their own work: J Taylor, J Mitchell, J Browne. This album is part of my soul.
Great Music

The main review is actually describing Tom Rush' 1965 Elektra debut, not this, his Columbia debut from 1970.
These Days isn't his

By desjardins987
This IS a tremendous album. Only problem: iTunes doesn't have one of the best songs by Tom Rush: "These Days." It includes all the albums that ever had the song but not the song itself! What happened?!
Great Underrated Work!

There isn't a clunker in this album. The covers are as important here as they are with the original songwriters, especially "Child's Song," "Rainy Day Man," and "These Days." This is a listen-to anytime set of performances.
