Alive on Arrival

by Steve Forbert

Alive on Arrival cover art

Bursting out of the late-70s New York club circuit, the Mississippi native delivered an acutely observed, street-smart debut that quickly drew comparisons to early Bob Dylan. Driven by energetic acoustic strumming and a distinctive, raspy vocal tone, the record captures the restless energy of youth in transition. It stands as a vibrant document of the era's evolving folk-rock landscape.
