(Austin, Tex.) In the past quarter-century, the
Mississippi-bred, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Steve Forbert has built a
deeply personal body of work that's won him a reputation for clear-eyed insight
and plainspoken eloquence. In the process, he's evolved from the wide-eyed
young troubadour of his early classics Alive On Arrival and Jackrabbit Slim, to
the bittersweet outlook of his more recent work. Songs such as ÒThe World Is
Full of PeopleÓ and ÒSing It Again, My FriendÓ survey more mature territory
with hard-won empathy and deeply-ingrained rock 'n' roll soul. Forbert was
inducted into the Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame in 2006 and his hit song, ÒRomeoÕs TuneÓ was recently covered by Keith Urban.

"In 1979, Steve Forbert
released the album Jackrabbit Slim which featured the hit single "Romeo's
Tune." Though the track became Forbert's signature song, an equally
enduring composition from that package was included on a bonus 45 titled "The
Oil Song."
Originally, its
lyrics documented early oil spills, one more horrific than the next. But with
each passing decade, the song's topic has continued to be relevant, and it
sadly gets frequently updated by its author to include the latest litany of petrol disasters. The following is an
interview..." – Mike Ragogna, Huffington
Post
