Details
[Edit]“Romeo’s Tune” signaled Steve Forbert's potential in the late ‘70s, but the ensuing years found him enjoying only cult success and not the mainstream audience for which he originally seemed destined. Three decades on, Forbert isn’t as prolific as he once was and while the songs now trickle from his pen, he twists his aged voice into the cracks with veteran experience and polish. “Strange Names (North New Jersey’s Got ‘Em)” is Forbert’s nod to both the absurdity of names such as “Ho-Ho-Kus” and “Hackensack” (see Fountains of Wayne’s Welcome Interstate Managers for further discussion of this town) and the novelty folksinger crowd’s penchant for these annoying little foibles. “Man, I Miss That Girl” and “My Seaside Brown-Eyed Girl” maintain Forbert’s gentle romanticism. “The Baghdad Dream” delivers political protest. “Simply Spalding Gray” eulogizes the monologist’s suicide. “I Will Sing Your Praise” celebrates Forbert’s spiritualism. “Middle Age” and “Thirty More Years” ponder the present and future. And a re-recording of “Romeo’s Tune” sends Forbert back through his past for complete round-trip time travel.
