Singer/guitarist Tom Rush came out of the fertile early-1960s Cambridge, MA folk scene, and made his mark not as a songwriter but as an interpreter of others' songs. Rush's plainspoken, versatile singing has some of the roughness of Dave Van Ronk and some of the mellowness of Eric Anderson and Tom Russell, and he effectively puts across a variety of songs--traditional acoustic blues, contemporary songs, country--in a convincing assortment of moods.
Rush was among the first to cover songs by Joni Mitchell, Jackson Brown, Lee Clayton and James Taylor before they became well-known. NO REGRETS is the first collection to cover Rush's entire career, from 1962's "San Francisco Bay Blues" to 1998's previously-unreleased "River Song." The highlights here are many, one in particular being a bleak but luminous version of Joni Mitchell's "Urge For Going." This collection is worth seeking out for fans of Rush as well as of contemporary singer/songwriters.
