Steve Forbert - Jack Rabbit Slim '1979; 2011

Tracks list

Although Jackrabbit Slim was Steve Forberts best-selling album, containing his
only Top 40 hit, Romeos Tune, and his only other chart single, Say Goodbye to
Little Jo, it took Nemperor (formerly part of CBS, now part of Sony) 17 years to
put it out on CD (on September 3, 1996). It sounds as good as it did before,
thanks both to Forberts excellent songwriting (also included: January 23-30,
1978, one of his best diary songs) and to John Simons production. In a newly
added note, Forbert says Simon was a late addition, after his producer was
stolen by Barbra Streisand. If he means Gary Klein, who handled Streisands 1979
Wet album, one can only concluded that he traded up. Simon, whose previous
credits included the Band, understood Forberts folk/rock/pop style perfectly,
making this the best marriage of artist and producer on what is also the artists
best material.
