Forbert, Steve

Music Genre: Folk, Singer/Songwriter, New

Steve Forbert first album "Alive on Arrival" is one of the best debuts Ive ever heard. He was immediately pegged as the newest "new Dylan" and the pressure of living up to that must have been overwhelming. His second album is the excellent "Jackrabbit Slim." Sometimes an artist just hits you in the gut and never lets go, and that's the way things are with Forbert for me. I still love the sound of his voice and the heart that goes along with his music. "Alive On Arrival," "Any Old Time," "Jackrabbit Slim," "Just Like There's Nothin' To It," "Young Guitar Days", "Strange Names and New Sensations."

I've Got My Own Hell to Raise is one of the best albums of '05. Great song choices and Joe Henry goes with a very spare production that allows for the singer to shine. And Shine she does. I've given this album to a diverse group of people, ages 20's to 70's, and the record wins them all over. "A Woman Like Me," "I've Got My Own Hell To Raise," "Let Me Down Easy: In Concert", "The Scene of the Crime."
