Steve Forbert has been releasing great original material since the late 1970s. A two-disc set of his first two albums, Alive On Arrival and Jackrabbit Slim, was released in 2013, complete with several bonus tracks, and last year a new version of his 1988 album Streets Of This Town was issued, remastered and remixed. It's great to revisit these early albums, but Steve Forbert's talent for songwriting has only grown in the years since those early releases. His new album features all original material, and a great group of musicians backing him. Joining him on this album are Rob Clores (The Black Crowes) on keyboards and accordion, Gurf Morlix (Lucinda Williams) on electric guitar, Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors) on drums, Byron House (Robert Plant's Band of Joy) on bass, and Layonne Holmes on backing vocals. Michael Doherty's Music Log. As Forbert approaches the milestone of his 70th birthday, Daylight Savings Time contemplates and celebrates the proverbial 'extra hour of daylight' that comes with the time change. "Yeah, to chirping crickets and to daylight savings time!" he sings on the album's first single, "Sound Existence".
