Tom Rush’s impact on American music has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the 1960s, and his music left its stamp on generations of artists in the folk renaissance of the 1980s and 1990s. James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty, and Garth Brooks have cited Rush as a major influence. His early recordings introduced the world to the work of Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Jackson Browne, and his Club 47 concerts brought attention to artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin. As vital and engaging as ever, Rush is still doing what audiences love him for: writing and playing—passionately, tenderly—and knitting together the musical traditions and talents of our times.
Rush’s latest album, Gardens Old, Flowers New, examines the idea that many things in life have happened millions of times across the eons, yet each time is fresh and different.
