Forbert waits for "Daylight Savings Time"
"Daylight Savings Time" is Forbert's 21st album and third release helmed by producer/engineer Steve Greenwell (Joss Stone, Gavin DeGraw). The tracks were cut at Greenwell's studio in Asbury Park N.J., where Forbert now resides. Helping out were drummer Aaron Comess of the Spin Doctors and keyboard player Rob Clores, who has played with Jesse Malin, The Black Crowes and Tom Jones. Byron House played bass, while Gurf Morlix played guitar.
Forbert arrived in New York City from Meridian, Miss. in 1976 and was part of the new folk revival. He scored a major label deal with the Nemperor/CBS Records, where he released his debut, "Alive on Arrival." His second album, "Jackrabbit Slim," yielded "Romeo's Tune."
Forbert's songs have been recorded by Rosanne Cash, Keith Urban, Marty Stuart and Webb Wilder.
