Early Morning Rain contains 11 of my favorites, with only one written later than
1973. - Steve Forbert

More than four decades have passed since Steve Forbert made his way to New York
City from Meridian Mississippi in quest of a career in music. It was the most
unlikely time and place for a folksinger to leap into the fray in a burgeoning
scene where new wave and punk were emerging. Forbert took the stage as an
archetypal folkie, armed with just an acoustic guitar and sheaf of very personal
songs. 

His career had its share of triumphs as well as stumbles and disappointments as
did his private life. Through it all, over the course of a marriage, divorce,
raising three children, writing and recording 20 studio albums and fronting an
ever-changing line-up of supporting musicians, he persevered and stayed true to
his roots and the folk ethos.

Steve recently released his memoir “Big City Cat, My Life in
Folk-Rock,” alongside his 19th studio album The Magic Tree. In December
2019, his label Blue Rose Music released a 40th-anniversary limited edition
vinyl of Jackrabbit Slim.
