Ever heard of Steve Forbert? If you haven't you are not alone. This is a guy that has been putting out quality records since 1978, his first Alive on Arrival is considered by many to be one of the best records ever made, but he has never made it big.He moved from his home in Mississippi in the mid-70s to play on he streets of NY city. With his harmonica and acoustic guitar, Rolling Stone magazine dubbed him the next Bob Dylan, no pressure.
Based on that review I bought his second record Jackrabbit Slim, which produced his only top 40 hit, Romeo's Tune -- if you don't recognize it by the title, you'd probably know it if you heard it: "Meet me in the middle of the night, let me hear you say, every thing's all right." Anyway, this song will get you off on the right foot and allow you to discover the rest of this great record, and hopefully you'll become one of the dedicated few who buy every record he puts out.
