| | Description: | Compromised by Steve Forbert, released 6 November 2015, includes the following tracks: "When I Get to California", "Welcome the Rolling Stones", "Send In the Clowns", "Devil (Here She Comes now)" and more.
This version of Compromised comes as a 1xCD. - The songwriters songwriter is one who adheres to an unwavering standard of excellence. His work is honed, sculpted, shaped, and then reshaped until it feels right to share with the world. These are just a few of the guiding principles Steve Forbert followed while composing the 11 original songs on his new album, Compromised. (Stripped-down Americana versions of three of it's songs appear as bonus tracks, and there's also a gravelly, folkified cover of Send in the Clowns.). It's not a modern record it has an aggressive, roots rock and folk rock styling that's not a lot different from [1991s] The American in Me in it's instrumentation. Recorded in various locales including Woodstock and Cape Cod over a period of eight months and produced by Forbert along with John Simon (who helmed Forberts breakthrough sophomore album, 1979s Jackrabbit Slim), Steve Greenwell, Jon Evans, Anthony Crawford, and Marc Muller, Compromised is anything but what it's title suggests. From the rambling piano and horn-driven swing of Big Comeuppance to the seductive twang of Devil (Here She Comes Now) to the Altamont romanticizing of Welcome the Rolling Stones, Forbert has followed his muse to the hilt. Many Compromised songs share a common thread of resigned acceptance, born from Forberts keen observations on the nuances associated with the actual art of the compromise. Compromised collaborators include longtime Forbert associates bassist Joey Spampinato (NRBQ), drummer Lou Cataldo (The Freeze), and keyboardist Robbie Kondor, the latter of whom played on Forberts kinetic 1978 debut, Alive on Arrival. In todays overload-of-information age, Forbert recognizes the value of having a calling card song in his arsenal Romeos Tune, his indelible pop hit that reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980. That turned out ok that song has good serendipity, he says. Did I become somewhat of a household word, with household recognition No. But you write the songs, and the songs have to be recorded."Compromised" is a captivating CD by acclaimed American singer-songwriter Steve Forbert, released under the Rock Ridge label.
