Song(s) of the Day # 549 - Steve Forbert


I'm so glad I do this. It brings me to things I probably wouldn't otherwise find. Like this. From an artist, who when he initially emerged was considered for a while to be a 'new Dylan'. This didn't happen but he has a nice, lazy style, obvious talent and here are two of his big tunes. The one above, his only really big hit, the one below a song chosen by Bowie when he hosted a radio show in the late seventies as one of his own personal favourites. A companion piece to Monday's Song of the Day Heart of the City and Springsteen's Hard to Be a Saint in the City which I think I also chose in this slot a while back, about life on the city streets.
