Janis Ian, Tom Rush deliver strong, passionate performances
If going out at the top of your game is the goal, Janis Ian is the victor. The folkie is pulling off the road after her tour wraps in November. But judging from Ian’s riveting, May 18 performance inside a two-thirds full Southern Theatre in Columbus, Ohio, this is for personal, rather than professional, reasons.
Interspersing acoustic tunes with gripping anecdotes, she performed most of her greatest ditties, including the desolate Jesse, and The Last Train, a poignant narrative alluding to the Vietnam War.
