STEVE FORBERT -ßSTREETS OF THIS TOWN Back in print on CD! INCLUDES BONUS TRACK "They're Out To Break Us" After 28 years,ßSteve Forbert's 1988 album,ßStreets of This Town,ßwas his first opportunity to record and release an album after several years of a legal impasse with CBS.ßMoving to NYC from his native Mississippi, Forbert bust on the scene with "Romeo's Tune" in 1979 and put out several more albums with his label, CBS, before reaching an impasse with them. The songs onßStreets Of This Townßwere written during his 1984 to 1988 during this period, giving him years to develop and road test the songs. He moved from Greenwich Village to Nashville, continuing to write and tour with his band, The Rough Squirrels, and caught the ear of E Street bassist Garry Tallent, who brought the band into his Long Branch, NJ studio to produceßStreets Of This Town.ßThe songsßchronicle the the trials and tribulations of four years of recording-artist purgatory and became Forbert'sßfirst album for Geffen Records.ßStreets Of This Townßgot an enthusiastic reception -ßRolling Stoneßcalled it "the best record he has ever made" in their 4-star review and theßWashington Postßdubbed it "the most moving and consistent album of his career."
