Steve Forbert - Stolen Identity

The song moves along with the topical subject of having your identity stolen, and Steve uses humor to make the best of a bad situation, but send me rolling on the floor giggling like crazy with the last verse. I don't feel free to quote the lyrics here because it would steal from your fun of discovery. Suffice it to say Forbert is at his ironic best here.

As usual, Steve travels around several different flavors of music, and does a great job on all of them. Write Me A Raincheck is a serious jazz-tinged composition, and The Beast Of Ballyhoo (Rock Show) is a hilarious rock flavored travelogue through a modern concert. Shoutouts for the fun of Labor Day '08. Steve Forbert
