Tom Rush To Encourage New Growth

Tom Rush would have been considered one of the greatest songwriters of the last century even if he penned – and, of course, performed – only a single piece, “No Regrets,” because this 1968 number has been covered by such different artists as Harry Belafonte, Midge Ure, Olivia Newton-John, Shirley Bassey and THE WALKER BROTHERS, but there are many more classics which the American musician presented to the world over the last six decades, since 1962’s “At The Unicorn” which marked his recording debut. Fast forward to the nearest future, and March 1st, 2024 is to see the release of the then-83-year-old’s umpteenth album.

It’s titled “Gardens Old, Flowers New” follows in the wake of 2018’s “Voices” and features no less than fourteen recently composed cuts from the esteemed folk-blues troubadour who’s considered to be the harbinger of the singer-songwriter era. The platter has a crowdfunding background, with a thousand backers pledging $56,909 against the $26,500 goal, a sign of love for the national treasure that Rush is. In Tom’s words, the album focuses on many things in life happening millions on millions of times and each time always feeling fresh and different – just like his words and melodies.
