Rye whiskey (Tom Rush) (LP 3673)

Tom Rush  Got a Mind to Ramble (Vinyl, Prestige Records, 1964) ****  

Genre: Folk, blues

Places I remember: Little Red Bookshop

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: San Francisco Bay Blues 

Gear costume: Big Fat Woman

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6

Active compensatory factors: This was a real find - it's in excellent condition and was reasonably priced at Little Red Bookshop in Hastings.

Tom Rush is an American folk and blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter. He plays guitar superbly and he has a great folky voice.

This was his second album and its simple guitar, washtub bass and voice delivery is pretty much perfect. Its mixture of covers and original songs presents a real talent.

Where do they all belong? He's still around - age 84.
