Tom Rush's impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the '60s and the renaissance of the '80s and '90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists.
The film chronicles Rush’s life, mostly from his own humorous, self-deprecating perspective. It includes exclusive footage of the folk icon retracing his developmental New England footsteps up through his recent 50th anniversary celebratory concert at Boston’s prestigious Symphony Hall.
In the film, James Taylor reflects on Rush’s influence. “If it weren’t for you, I would not be here,” the singer-songwriter shares. “I definitely walked in the path you shine a light on, and I pattern myself - in no small way - on you ... and you’re the greatest!”
