It's an acoustic version of a rocking song. Still I was impressed by how full a sound he was able to put out with just the one guitar.

Obviously, Tom's still got it. One of the best of the genre. Ever.

OP, can you please make a note that the song doesn't start until just after 4:00? Every time I come back here, I have to search for it again.

Why on earth is his name rush, it takes more then 4 minutes before he starts

on the contrary - every song has a story behind it. You should take the time to listen .

Let's see...the vid is over 7 minutes long and he talks for over four minutes trying to be funny. But, this is a nice song and I am glad I found it. Tom Rush needs to stop yakking and just play his music.

The song "Merrimack County" was actually acoustic to begin with, off of the album "Wrong End of the Rainbow." Two years later the "rocking song" you're thinking of was released as "Merrimack County II" on the album "Merrimack County."

But I totally agree with you that this is an awesome version of the song.

I love this song. But this performance just doesn't do it justice. Sorry to say that.
