Steve Forbert
Steve Forbert's first collection of new songs since Evergreen Boy in 2000, Just Like There's Nothin' to It boasts a pair of fine new tunes, the well-observed "I Just Work Here" and the buoyant, poppy "Autumn This Year," both of which show that Forbert can still write a fine song when the gears mesh properly. The album also benefits from Jason ...

by
Steve Forbert
Although Jackrabbit Slim was Steve Forbert's best-selling album, containing his only Top 40 hit, "Romeo's Tune," and his only other chart single, "Say Goodbye to Little Jo," it took Nemperor (formerly part of CBS, now part of Sony) 17 years to put it out on CD (on September 3, 1996). It sounds as good as it did before, thanks both to Forbert's ...

Steve Forbert
Nearly thirty years after Steve Forbert established himself as a singer/songwriter to watch, his muse doesn't appear to be contacting him as often as it once did, and while there was a three-year layoff between 2007's Strange Names and New Sensations and his previous album, the results suggests Forbert was hard-put to come up with something to say ...

Mountain Stage: Folk Live contains highlights from the weekly radio show, this time concentrating on performers who fall into a loose definition of folk. That means there are not only folk singer-songwriters like Iris DeMent, but country-rockers like Steve Earle and country groups like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The eclecticism works in the ...

Alive on Arrival
(1978)

by
Steve Forbert
Steve Forbert's youthful features and boyish voice certainly become misleading once his lyrics are heard. His folk-rock styled songs are usually centered around life's ups and downs and the problems of adulthood, portraying him as an artist who's just trying to get by. Alive on Arrival is an album full of earnest tunes about loneliness, self-worth ...

Most artists attempt to make a comeback after their star has faded. Some succeed, but most don't.

Rock While I Can Rock: The Geffen Years

Steve Forbert
It's easy for folks to think of Steve Forbert as a singer/songwriter who burned out early -- after all, his debut album, 1978's Alive on Arrival, was his strongest critical success, and the follow-up, 1979's Jackrabbit Slim, was his biggest seller (and featured his only hit single, "Romeo's Tune"). But while his next two albums were hit-and-miss ...

For the Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson

by
Various Artists
Tribute albums are difficult things to pull off at the best of times, so it's no surprise that not quite everything works on this 23-track set. Part of the problem is that Harry Nilsson wrote some amazing songs in his time -- but he also wrote some that were not quite so amazing. Another part of the problem is that some of these songs don't lend ...

Steve Forbert couldn't have picked a more appropriate title than Evergreen Boy for his latest effort. It contains the same sturdy roots rock that Forbert's been sending our way for years. Forbert's yarns about relationships and daily life, like "Breaking Through" and "Trusting Old Soul," are spawned from the same spool of Americana that's served ...

Steve Forbert never had a chance of living up to the "new Dylan" kiss of death that critics smeared on his collar with his first releases in the late '70s. Four albums of wit and optimism gave way to a six-year drought without a record contract. With The American in Me, Forbert has found a healthier, more balanced perspective. The pressures and ...

Steve Forbert
Being called the next Bob Dylan wasn't exactly a good thing for Steve Forbert when he hit the scene in the late '70s, first because who on earth would want that hung around his neck, and second because his approach and style were nothing much like Dylan in the first place. It was a recipe for perceived failure, and although Forbert released four ...
