Music reviews of The Place and the Time

Music Review: Mississippi native headed back to the top again
Rating: 5 Stars

I had to smile when I opened the envelope containing Steve Forbert's latest CD On the Place and the Time, this past month. The return label was "Sam Forbert." Sam is one of Steve's twin boys. Dave is the other. That's right he named them Sam & Dave (Forbert). His daughter, Katherine, supplied some abstract art on the inside CD jacket.
I met Steve in 1980. He had returned home to Meridian, where he was playing at the Temple Theater. I was working for Frank Spain's sister station WHTV - TV 24. We were both in our early twenties.
He was famous. I was infamous. Jackrabbit Slim had released in late 1979 with his only Top 40 hit, "Romeo's Tune." I became a Forbert groupie, of sorts. I didn't follow him around the country. I just tried to convert as many as possible to his music.
A lot of time has past. On the Place and the Time is his 13th studio album. Steve also has released countless live CDs and a couple of DVDs. I'm the proud owner of all, even his third, Little Stevie Orbit and fourth, the self-titled Steve Forbert, which have never made it past vinyl.
We've talked quite a few times since that initial meeting and I've always found Steve personable and intellectually stimulating. The only subject I've found Steve doesn't like to get stuck on is the background to his songs. I can understand that.
Clifford Meth, who has worked for Billboard, once ask Steve about a particular song. "One track that disturbed me," Clifford said. - that I had a strong emotional reaction to - was `I Married a Girl.' What was the basis of that song?"
Steve answered "It's all in there. There's nothing more to say. I put it all right there." The song and much of Just Like There's Nothin' to It (2004) dealt with Steve's recent divorce. His next project, Strange Names & New Sensations (2007) found Steve back in good spirits with a new love from New Jersey.
Steve got more good news when Keith Urban included "Romeo's Tune" on his greatest hits CD, and Keith's wife, Nichole Kidman, included two of the Mississippian's songs, "Romeo's Tune" and "Goin' Down To Laurel" in her movie Margot at the Wedding (2007).
One reason Sam sent the CD is Steve is busy touring out west in Colorado, then New York before heading, at the end of May, to Scotland, Ireland and England. Yes, my friend is having another comeback. This latest CD, in my opinion, will only add to his success.
There's a catchy little tune "Labor Day 2008" which has airplay written all over it. Steve, relaxed with kids grown, and living in Nashville also included a little modern humor "Stolen Identity" about someone getting his credit card number and having lots of fun.
But for the most part this latest glimpse supplied the signature reflective nature of the singer / songwriter as in "Simply Must Move On."
Your marriage could not last last -- a meltdown to divorce,
The whole thing's over now, it's over (yes, of course).
You stand out on the street, the whole lawn's overgrown,
You'll look suspicious here, you simply must move on.
As with most of Steve's songs the lyrics are usually about himself, and pointed at his audience, who age with him. If you wonder about what something means I'd have to refer you to one of his earlier tunes, " If You've Gotta Ask You'll Never Know."
God's speed my friend.
