Music reviews of Affordable Art

Music Review: Another Gem from Goodman
Rating: 5 Stars

First, let me start out with the first track, If Jethro Were Here. This instrumental prize borderlines with the spiritual for me. When I hear it, I imagine flying over a wooded area viewing rivers, and valleys below; as if I were an eagle soaring high above.

The other great tracks on this album include Vegematic, which applies even today. I know you'll be able to relate to this one! Talk Backwards is a Goodman original that makes you wonder why no other artist has produced a song along the lines of this concept.

Goodman's duet with John Prine on Souvenirs is a classic. I promise you'll love this one. Any baseball fan will appreciate Steve's rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame and his original A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request.

Lastly, as a Jimmy Buffett fan, I never really cared for Buffett's recording of California Promises. However, Steve seems to give it meaning and substance on this album. Simply put, he wrote it, and he knows exactly how to make it work. God bless the late Steve Goodman.
