A singer/songwriter from my home state of Mississippi. I first heard of Steve Forbert by way of a compilation CD that came with an issue of Oxford American Magazine in 1997. I dug the song he had on that sampler, Sure Was Better Back Then. Flash forward many years to a record sale in the back of a radio station in Colorado, and I found this copy of his second album, Jackrabbit Slim. This album is very much in the singer/songwriter vein of John Hiatt, Joe Ely records from this time. All in all a easy fun listen.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
