March 3 street date. New album from one of the many "new Bob Dylan"'s from the 70's. With a career that spans nearly three decades, Steve Forbert remains a master of songs with insight through plain spoken, heartfelt eloquence.
July 24 street date. Following his acclaimed 1978 debut, Alive on Arrival, singer-songwriter Steve Forbert had a rocky ride, enjoying a hit single with "Romeo's Tune" in 1980 but having an album denied release in 1984. Following long-running contractual disputes, he was finally ready to launch a comeback in 1988, with the release of the superb Streets of This Town album, produced by Bruce Springsteen's bassist Garry Tallent. This stunning live set was taped for broadcast on WNEW-FM, and finds him performing almost all of the album, as well as a selection of other songs. It's presented here with background notes and images.
Available now. Singer-songwriter Steve Forbert's 16th studio album was recorded in Woodstock and Cape Cod and produced by Forbert along with John Simon (who helmed Forbert's breakthrough sophomore album, 1979's Jackrabbit Slim), Compromised is anything but what its title suggests. Its aggressive, roots-rock stylings are reminiscent of Forbert's 1992 album The American in Me.
September 14 street date. 2018 release from the veteran singer/songwriter. Big City Cat - My Life in Folk-Rock is singer/songwriter Steve Forbert's exceptional new memoir, co-written with Therese Boyd in which he most candidly reflects on those specific circumstances that first brought him to the public eye. Sharing reflections and journals he kept at the time, he weaves an absorbing narrative that fully addresses the trials, travails and triumphs that would eventually play out over the course of his prolific 40+ year career including encounters with the Ramones, Sam Phillips, Keith Richards, Doc Pomus, Levon Helm and other notables along the way. The book is accompanied by it's own soundtrack as well, an evocative album entitled The Magic Tree that offers a series of songs gleaned from previously recorded acoustic demos, augmented with new backing tracks and fleshed out as a series of songs that ring with the verve and vitality that Forbert's fans have always come to expect. Consistently upbeat and optimistic, they convey a firm sense that age ought not diminish a lust for living. Then again, that's been Forbert's mantra ever since the beginning: honoring his past while plowing his way towards the future in a mindful, soulful and revelatory way.
