Little Stevie Orbit

by Steve Forbert

Overview

Little Stevie Orbit was seen as a disappointment at the time of its release because it did not generate a hit single on the order of "Romeo's Tune," and thus failed to consolidate the commercial success Steve Forbert had achieved with his second album, Jackrabbit Slim. In retrospect, however, it is a spirited, rollicking collection on which Forbert sounds increasingly comfortable fronting a rock band on a series of lighthearted songs such as "I'm an Automobile" and "If You've Gotta Ask You'll Never Know." It may not have made him a superstar, but Little Stevie Orbit provided some strong additions to Steve Forbert's concert repertoire for years to come. ~ William Ruhlmann
