Tom Rush (born February 8, 1941) is an American folk and blues singer and songwriter. Rush was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the son of a teacher at St. Paul's School, in Concord, New Hampshire. Tom began performing in 1961 while studying at Harvard University after having graduated from the Groton School. He majored in English literature. Many of his early recordings are versions of Lowland Scots and Appalachian folk songs.

Produced by Arthur Gorson. Album The Circle Game. The Circle Game Lyrics. Yesterday a child came out to wonder He caught a dragonfly inside a jar And fearful when the sky was full of thunders And tearful at the falling of a star And the seasons they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down Were captive on the carousel of time We can't return, we can only look behind

Released in 1968, The Circle Game is a perfect song cycle, telling the story of a relationship from start to end. It established Tom Rush as a mature folk singer who'd moved away from the rustic blues of his early Cambridge days, and it introduced three then-unknown songwriters to the public arena. Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Jackson Browne all contribute songs, and Rush caps things off with his masterful original "No Regrets" (which later became a hit for The Walker Brothers). The performances are tasteful and highlight Rush's warm approach. This album is often cited as the catalyst for folk singers becoming singer/songwriters and as a key influence on the music that would dominate the early '70s.

Talk about Tom Rush - The Circle Game

A Wonderful re-mastering of a classic album from 1968, far superior to the original vinyl. Rhino have reinstated the instrumental coda and added three tracks. Sound quality is absolutely superb.
