CD Reviews

An Exceptional, and very welcome, reissue

Robert L. Smith | San Francisco, CA United States | 10/30/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"After a long hiatus brought about by contract difficulties with his original label, folk-rocker Steve Forbert returned in the late '80s with two fine albums on Geffen, resissued here in their entirety. The keen eye and acerbic wit of his '70s releases has deepened, as a more mature Forbert reflects ruefully but without bitterness on the hand that life has dealt him. The previously unavailable British single "The Only Normal People" is a gem, making the disc worthwhile even for longtime fans who own both of the original albums. In a word--wonderful!"

A singer and songwriter in the big league

Kurt Olav Helle | Lonevåg, Osteroy Norway | 10/13/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Steve Forbert is the real thing. The voice has a pain in it that grip your soul. This collection combines the albums Streets of This Town and The American in Me. And what a listning experience. He should be in the big league, because he has the magic x factor in most of his songs. I can`t put a finger on what it is that make Steve Forbert a real treat to listning to. To use Garry Tallent as an producer give Forbert a rich soundpicture, lesser acoustic sometimes, but something else which really fits the artist. There`s so many goodies on this CD. But Track 6: On the streets of this town, have a certain magic. It has an "walkabout" feel which is difficult to put in to words. But the harmonica at the end really lifts it up where the skies is the limit. Forbert knows his roots, that`s for sure. One of the few, in our "media muzak" society who realy stands up for the word quality, with big Q."

Surprisingly good

"I'm a fan of Steve Forbert so it's not surprising that I enjoyed this album. There are several memorable tunes with his trademark wry lyrics. A couple of corny songs, but all in all I'd highly recommend this album. You will not be disappointed."
