Tom Rush - S/T

1970 Columbia Records

The album has seen better days but the SQ is full and detailed.Good low end.

@bslon, agree with you wholeheartedly on both "future games" and "catholic boy". i wasn't the biggest bob welch fan, but the title track is a classic + danny kirwan was a genius. as for "catholic boy," it's a lot more musical than you'd expect from someone who's basically a non-musician--"day and night" is a genuinely purty tune.

my recent diversions:

the kink kronicles--i'm convinced that as captured here ray was at least mccartney's equal as a composer and a much better lyricist.

the dbs, "like this"--granted, peter holsapple's a lousy singe but he's a first rate songwriter and at least half of this great

russian circles, "memorial"--postrock trio with a  really good drummer. like really, really good.
