About this album

Jackrabbit Slim is the album that brought Steve Forbert wider attention, largely on the strength of the hit single ‘Romeo’s Tune’. Released in 1979, it blends folk rock, blues and country-leaning storytelling into songs that feel immediate, melodic and quietly observant. Forbert’s songwriting is direct but detailed, balancing rueful humour with romantic warmth and a keen ear for everyday life. The record helped establish him as one of the more distinctive voices to emerge from the late-1970s singer-songwriter scene, with a sound that sits comfortably between acoustic tradition and radio-ready rock.
