Thanks to jeffjn.....great to be able to see classic Steve Forbert songs from the past. Didn't know it existed. Can you track down "Thinkin" from TOGWT in about 1978?

Sorry, this is all I've got of him.. :-(

amerikanprincess--thanks for your post. I love Streets Of This Town, it's my fave Forbert album. I did not know it was a sober comeback. Forbert has always been highly under rated in my opinion.

STREETS OF THIS TOWN is one of my favorite albums of the 80s. The songs still go through my head, especially "Live and Breathe" and "Mexico." Taped it off the radio premiere on WNEW-FM and saw Steve at a club in NYC when he was touring to support it. Used to think this was called "Gone" - shows you how few titles I got while taping. Raise your hand if you know what STREETS OF THIS TOWN is about: it was his comeback when he got sober. That's why it's more spiritual than his earlier work.

Steve gives me chills with his words and voice. On my top 5 favorite artists of all time.

A really great album that my wife and I remember well - I still have the vinyl but no record player, alas. Thanks for posting.
