Tom Rush's impact on the American music scene has been
profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the '60s and the renaissance
of the '80s and '90s, his music having left its stamp on generations
of artists. James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty and Garth Brooks
have cited Tom as major influences. His early recordings introduced
the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James
Taylor. Subsequently, his Club 47 concerts brought attention to
emerging artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin.
On February 24, 2009, Appleseed Recordings will release
Tom Rush's first full-length studio album in over thirty years,
'What I Know.' This album is the newest chapter in his legendary
career and features original material and Rush's interpretations
of songs such as "Drift Away."
Today, after 45 years, he's still doing what audiences
love him for: writing and playing ...passionately, tenderly...knitting
together the musical traditions and talents of our times.
