Product Description
CD Description
Steve Forbert is back with his first new album in three years, which includes an all-new recording of his Top 40 hit, "Romeo's Tune". Nearly 28 years since breaking into pop consciousness with his second album Jackrabbit Slim and its infectious Top Ten single “Romeo’s Tune,” Steve Forbert remains a master of songs offering clear-eyed insight and plain-spoken, heartfelt eloquence. On his Hypertension debut, the well-travelled, Nashville-based troubadour - who maintains a busy touring schedule of over 100 dates a year - explores his ongoing fascination for Strange Names & New Sensations with characteristic wit, a sense of social consciousness and the ever-present romantic optimism that has endeared him to two generations of folk/rock fans. Tracks: Middle Age / Strange Names (North Jersey's Got 'em) / Simply Spalding Gray / Man, I Miss That Girl / You're Meant For Me / I Will Sing Your Praise / Something Special / My Seaside Brown-Eyed Girl / The Baghdad Dream / Thirty More Years / Around The Bend / Romeo's Tune

Good News; It's Great
15 July 2007
By T. Leach
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Ok, a non-Forbert fan may not like this stuff, but the real trick is not just liking this music but 'getting' it. Since the singles-era of his early music, SF's work has not been written nor produced for mass consumption. Of course, Big Macs are made for mass consumption, and look at what those do to you. So, with the recognition that this album might have a limited audience, this is a GREAT Forbert album. I was pleased to discover that SF is still writing clever and honest music, and while his sound is still a little overly-produced for me (too many back-up vocals and tamborines sometimes), this album has some wonderful rhythms and sounds. Favorites are The Baghdad Dream (not an in your face anti-war song, as much as a "what is going over there?" rocker), I Will Sing Your Praises (a surprising creationist hymn, SF style), Thirty More Years (a great composition around SF's now-familiar theme of life passing by . . .), and Simply Spalding Gray. Then there is the fresh re-do of one of pop music's greatest all-time hits, Romeo's Tune. What a gift. He must have performed this a million times in the last 25 years, and he delivers it here with appropriate energy and relevance. GREAT ALBUM!

Old is new, New is new

Its just so nice to hear someone from then talking about what its all about now, its refreshing to hear what is like an old friend talking to me again. I've alway wondered why so many artist from my past are still singing about the past. I've grown so why haven't they. Without a doubt Steven has painted a picture of the present that's something I can see and feel and allowed me to review with sounds that I liked, just like he did before. His name popped up in my head a few days back and I searched out his new album and I'm so glad I did, its as good if not better then anything he's done in the past and even more refreshing. It sounds great!

Steve sings about every day life, with remarkable observations but stays away from the obvious.
