This is the debut album from a singer-songwriter who rose from the streets of New York.
Forbert's straightforward lyrics and simple acoustic guitar-driven arrangements embody the sincerity of 1970s folk rock. "Goin' Down To Laurel" vividly depicts urban loneliness and hope, evoking empathy. The album's appeal lies in its storytelling and familiar melodies, reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen.
