Steve Forbert:

Jackrabbit Slim:(1979)

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.
