Product Description
From Amazon.com
The title owes to a Joni Mitchell composition, which is appropriate, as Rush has been one of Mitchell's best interpreters--his languorous, sweet version of "Urge for Going," (included here) case in point. This '60s folk classic is also notable for the haunting originals, particularly "No Regrets" (covered later by Emmylou Harris), with its matching of dark guitar lines and Rush's hushed baritone. --Roy Francis Kasten

2008 digitally remastered and expanded 40th Anniversary edition of this album from the singer/songwriter including three bonus tracks. Heavily steeped in the American Folk, Blues and Roots movements of the early to mid '60s, Tom Rush was already a 27-year old five album veteran by the time he released The Circle Game in April 1968. The eight page booklet has an new essay and interview with Rush by the respected reviewer Peter Doggett and is filled out with session details, trade paper reviews and pictures of US and UK singles. 14 tracks. Rhino UK.

Nostalgic Music,
By "mxico60" (Olympia Fields, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Circle Game (Audio CD)
I attended a small college in southern Maine in the late sixties. Some of my friends listened to this record, Circle Game (vinyl discs existed then). I remember the cold winds in the Maine woods announcing the arrival of winter. There is no song in my mind that conveys that feeling better than "Urge for Going". My other favorite from this collection of songs is "No Regrets". Tom Rush's music has such an evocative, plain elegance that always makes me think of the late 60's and all the experiences of being in the eastern U.S. during turbulent and challenging times.

A true classic,

A masterpiece. Rush is an outstanding guitarist and singer, and the arrangements are superb. Everything magically came together for Rush on this recording. "Urge For Going" and "No Regrets" are highlights, but there is not a weak track on the album. Thank you Tom Rush!

This review is from: Circle Game (Audio CD)
Late 60's, out of college, can afford an album a week, and can't decide between protest, rock or stuff you love that isn't either of those. That was Tom Rush and me for a couple of years. I liked all kinds of music, tried to own some of every genre, but "Circle Game" was a favorite and I wore my vinyl out. Part folk, part blues, a little bit country, even a little rock and pop flavor...this one had it all. He taught us who Joni Mitchell was before she could sell us records on her own...did the same for James Taylor, Jackson Browne and others. He found and elevated young songwriters of genius, sang well, played great guitar, took his time with the tunes. Rush balanced fun and melancholy, a beat and thoughtfulness, better than anyone else at that time. It is still a hugely enjoyable record, and worth owning if you like this kind of art. Tom moved from the Elektra label to Columbia shortly after this one came out, and sold more copies, but he never made a better album overall.
