Another self-titled album, this time for CBS, finds
Tom Rush continuing to mine the fertile vein of folk-rock songwriters the likes of
James Taylor,
Jackson Browne, and Canadian Murray McLaughlin. Standouts include
David Wiffen's "Driving Wheel," McLaughlin's "Old Man's Song" and "Child's Song," and
Browne's "Colors of the Sun." Also, there appears to be a hint of country sneaking into the arrangements. A very solid effort. ~ James Chrispell
