The Circle Game (album)
The Circle Game is the sixth studio album by American folk musician Tom Rush. Released in 1968, it includes three covers of the singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, as well as songs by Jackson Browne and James Taylor. Rush himself wrote "Rockport Sunday" and his often-covered tune "No Regrets", which has become a folk standard and has been covered by several dozen artists, including Emmylou Harris, The Walker Brothers, Olivia Newton-John, Curtis Stigers, and the band Luna.
The songs follow the cycle of a relationship from its beginning to an end. Joni Mitchell's "The Circle Game", recorded prior to her own release of the song on her 1970 album Ladies of the Canyon, can be read as the turning point of the relationship while "Rockport Sunday" ends the romance using an instrumental piece, followed by the coda "No Regrets". Supporting this concept is the cover shot, which pictures his then girlfriend Jill Lumpkin behind Rush as photographed by Linda Eastman.
On 9 May 2008, Rhino/Warner released a fully remastered 40th Anniversary Edition. Three bonus tracks were added, including the single versions of "Something in the Way She Moves" and "Urge for Going", plus a previously unreleased acoustic first take of "The Circle Game". In addition, the 42-second instrumental coda to "No Regrets", which ends the original album, appears for the first time on CD.
The Circle Game was Rush's highest charting album; it was on the charts for 14 weeks, reaching No. 68 on the Billboard 200 on 8 June 1968.
