January, 2010
Hi, and thanks for stopping by.
I'm hoping that the nasty stuff of 2009 will be behind us in 2010. May things improve for us all, globally, locally, personally.
Come on in and have a look around. The most popular item these days is the What I Know CD, my first studio project in about 35 years. Made in Nashville with my old friend Jim Rooney* producing, I'm told it's some of my best work ever. I admit to being very pleased with it, and think you'll like it. (Folks have been buying extra copies for their friends, and I take this as a very sincere endorsement.)
There are a good many things here that you can download, including some that are not available anywhere else, but we can only offer the recordings we own, so for downloads of the stuff that's on other labels, including What I Know, you'll have to go to the label’s website, or iTunes.
Thanks again for stopping by!
Tom Rush
*Jim co-wrote Baby Let Me Follow You Down with Eric von Schmidt, one of my early heroes. It's a wonderful chronicle of the folk scene in Cambridge, MA in the '60s. We have a few copies left and likely will not be getting more since the publisher doesn't seem inclined to do another printing.
