Tom was way ahead of his time when he covered songs by Bo Diddly and Chuck Berry as well as by Robert Johnson and "anonymous," all on the same album. |

26 Oct 07 - 07:57 AM (#2179582) Subject: RE: Article about Tom Rush From: GUEST,14fret Nice article about Tom and good to hear that he's not been forgotten because he doesn't write all his own material! (Not a real singer/songwriter, then!). I live in the UK and he was very influential for me and introduced me to other great writers. I owe him. When you hear some of the banal dross, "That I wrote myself yesterday", and some of the irrelevant dirges that are 'performed' "..because they're part of our traditional heritage" make me want to weep. Please come and visit us, Tom, we'd love to see you. |

26 Oct 07 - 08:13 AM (#2179592) Subject: RE: Article about Tom Rush From: theleveller Great article. No Regrets is still one of my favourite songs (Tom's version, not the covers). It would be great if he came over to the UK. |

26 Oct 07 - 11:12 AM (#2179723) Subject: RE: Article about Tom Rush From: GUEST,Jim He is also one of my favourite entertainers. I agree with GUEST,14th fret. I've heard singer/songwriters criticize Tom as a "Cover Artist". Well so was Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Pete Seeger... Tom adds some of himself to every song he sings and his between song patter is as entertaining as his singing. I'm happy to perform songs and tunes written by others and am just as happy when someone else does one of mine. |

Funny to think that Tom, Joan Baez, Dylan, Mohammed Ali, and I are all within a year of the same age. Peter. |
