Steve Forbert

Since the 1970's, when he was hailed as “The New Bob Dylan,”and his 1980 top-ten Billboard hit “Romeo's Tune,” Steve Forbert has become a premier folk troubadour, and his 24 albums on Geffen, Columbia, and Warner Brothers Records sweep in rollicking roots music, worldly-wise balladry, and freewheeling tributes to artists as diverse as Ritchie Valens and Jimmie Rodgers.
