What An Old Lover Knows - Tom Rush

[juslikejohnwayne]

Love this song... so true to life! Does anyone know if this song appears on any album or cd?

[carolliner]

This has been released on his new album in 2009

First time I have heard this song. I love it. Nadine

I loved this song from the first moment on - somebody said, iw was never recorded on any of his CDs. What a pity!!

i loved this song the first time i heard it too. i've seen tom a couple of times in concert and asked him each time if he planned to record it (i probably sent a couple of emails as well). I recently got an update from his website announcing the release of a new album in either feb or march. "What an Old Lover Knows" will be on the new album.

To all those people who keep moaning about how much better it used to be when Tom Rush and other Sixties people were less ignored despite their obvious talent: stop it. popularity is a truck load of nothing and besides Tom Rush isn't dead. You can still go see him, support him. He's as good as ever!

Finding that Tom will be in Toronto in May 2008 by checking his web site was a real thrill. I'm counting the days. I will beg him to perform "Mole's Moan" at that time - I have such memories of seeing him play that at the Mariposa Festival way back and how my jaw dropped at his use of harmonics on his guitar in that number. I wish someone would post a clip of him doing that instrumental piece.

Me too at Hugh's -- that's 2 for Mole's Moan.

Another good tip....I almost bought a Martin when I had the money many years ago when I got divorced...regretted it ever since......Who knows when the next opportunity will arrive!?!

I'm grateful to see this vintage footage. The first time I saw Tom I was 15 or 16 and that was a very long time ago. He's timeless and made a deep impression on me.....also kept me playing guitar for quite a few years.....maybe it's time to pick it up again.Thanks to you and Tom!

[Taylor510ceL9]

Always time to pick up the guitar! I did after putting it down for about 15 years,

[mountainwmnvt]

Thanks for the encouragement...it's been more like 20+ for me. I've since come across an acoutic bass and have been patiently waiting for a friend to reglue it! At this rate, I'll probably get another uitar sooner!

[Taylor510ceL9]

I bought a new one a couple of years ago when I got back into it. I bought one that was more expensive than I deserved, and my playing has improve tremendously!

Most young people have never heard of Tom Rush; in fact, most young people have never heard of folk music. I'm so glad I was brought up in the '60's to experience the music as it evolved. Young people tell us we have missed so much without computers, cell phones, vido games, etc., they have no idea what THEY missed.

Thanks for posting this video. Tom Rush is one of the most underated singer songwriters ever. He is an awful lot more talented than most of the so called artists who have gone on to make millions with mediocre music.

Unfortunately, this is one of the tapes that has been damaged. This is the only clip that I could salvage.

Tom is very talented and has been a great supporter of the Philadelphia Folk Festival. I think the only "hit" that most people remember is "Sunshine".

[BowTieGuyUK2000]

Oh no, over here (UK) his most "famous" ong is No Regrets (but the version done by the, reformed, Walker Brothers in the 1970s) - and their version was a direct copy of Tom's reworking of the song on his Ladies Love Outlaws album. Still one of THE great voices and songwriters and a genuinely nice guy.

[Taylor510ceL9]

Y'all folks over there in Britland have longer memories than we do here.

[healthcaresteve]

"Sunshine" was a Jonathan Edwards song. Another fine singer/songwriter

[Taylor510ceL9]

OH,Yeah! You are exactly right! Just another sign of old age I guess.
