Forbert Slips Into Mediocrity
Jun 28 2004
Format:Audio CD
As a die-hard Steve Forbert fan who owns everything he's released (see my "So You'd Like To" guide on Forbert), I was rather disappointed with "Just Like There's Nothin to It." It isn't a bad album (I'm not sure that Forbert is capable of recording such a thing), but it's far from Forbert's best work. Song by song, each song is consistently listenable, but also consistent in falling short of the brilliance to which Forbert is capable. I certainly would recommend that newcomers start with Forbert's masterpieces, such as "Alive on Arrival" and "Jackrabbit Slim," before buying this one.
Steve Forbert`s best in years !
Jun 22 2004
Format:Audio CD
Steve Forbert is back to the basic. The voice which gives you the creeping feeling of harmony and greatness. This album gives you the best from Alive on Arrival and the Jack Rabbit Slim years. Back to the old Epic years. The tribute to Rick Danko is a real stunner (Wild as the wind). It`s like you can hear The Band playing in the Background. Every track is so well done. I play it over and over again, and it grows. This is musical teraphy for your ears, brain, and soul. It`s well produced, and the best of all is that all songs are written by Steve Forbert. A songwriter which knows his roots. In oure time more and more artist dont, im sorry to say. Is an album to (Dig).
Forbert's Deepest, Most Satisfying Album To Date
May 20 2004
Format:Audio CD
I have been an ardent fan of Steve Forbert's work ever since his "folkie" debut, "Alive On Arrival," way back in 1978. Despite the burdensome "New Dylan" tag that has continued to dog him through the years, Forbert is simply not cut from that visionary cloth. However, I find in his songs something just as profound, a world view that--ultimately--hits much closer to home. He is the poet of the everyday frustrations of the average working stiff, a role he consistently excels at in beautifully crafted songs, with a rare blend of wit, ironic humor, keen observation, and real passion. "Just Like There's Nothin' To It," his first collection of all-new material in four years, finds him in top form. Although his voice is thinner and reedier than in his youth, it suits his new material beautifully. The songs themselves are brimming with the rich, precise wordplay which has won him so many loyal followers. This is perhaps his finest album to date--a welcome treat for long-time fans, and the ideal introduction for the neophyte.
