Garry Tallent Turns 75

A lot of talent has crossed E Street over the past five decades. But only one Tallent has been there since the beginning.

Born Oct. 27, 1949, E Street Band bassist Garry Tallent turns 75 today. And, as the only remaining original member besides Boss Bruce, he’s known as “the foundation of the E Street Nation.”

In fact, Tallent’s played only one less E Street gig than Springsteen, having skipped the Band’s 2020 “Saturday Night Live” appearance owing to his concerns about COVID-19 and travel.

Tallent’s recorded with Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle and the Highwaymen and produced such artists as Southside Johnny, Marshall Crenshaw, Steve Forbert and Gary U.S. Bonds.

So he can find other work. But it seems safe to say E Street will be home to Garry Tallent - extra consonants and all - until the end.

Time Is Running Out

Each year, during the last week of January, I share this song by Steve Forbert. It is a story about returning home and one of my favorite Forbert tunes. It ends with the iconic line, “It’s often said that life is strange, but compared to what?” January 23-30, 1978, from the Jackrabbit Slim album. Thanks to Jack Sonntag for introducing me to Steve’s Music back in 1978.

Steve Forbert - I'm In Love With You

[transparentcomputertidalwave]

Steve Forbert è uno dei pochi artisti in grado di ammaliare la folla con nient'altro che una voce distintiva, una chitarra acustica e la sua fidata armonica a bocca appesa al collo. Sono passati più di quattro decenni da quando Forbert arrivò per la prima volta a New York City da Meridian, Mississippi e il suo immaginario verbale intimo, abbinato a un approccio musicale roots-rock, toccò una corda sensibile in milioni di persone durante il periodo di transizione tra il folk-rock degli anni '70 e la New Wave degli anni '80.

Buffalo Nickel - Steve Forbert

Steve Forbert – Streets Of This Town: Revisted (Blue Rose Music – BRM 1085, 1988/2023) I really enjoyed my recent chat with Steve Forbert at The Vinyl District where we discussed his re-issue, and slight reimagining, of his 1988 album “Streets of this Town.” You can hear us discuss that, his latest album - “Moving Through America - the Nashville skyline that’s pictured on the album cover, and much more.

Romeo's Tune - Steve Forbert

[el-toca-discos]

Hace poco encontré completo en vinilo "Jackrabbit Slim" de Steve Forbert incluyendo el simple de 7" que trae como único el tema "The Oil Song". Lo escuché bastante seguido, ya que está lleno de lindas canciones. Hoy encontré de casualidad que tiene su propio Bandcamp y cuelga discos, canciones y shows en vivo. De todas formas no tiene todo disponible para escuchar, pero sí dejó libre mi canción preferida "Romeo's Tune", grabada en vivo en Asbury Park, NJ at House of Independents el 25 de Enero de 2020. Show con banda completa del álbum completo de Jackrabbit Slim para celebrar el 40.° aniversario del lanzamiento del disco!. Disfruten!.

Runnin'

It has been a while since I’ve shared any tunes from Steve Forbert. This was recorded on The David Letterman Show in 1988. We were all a lot younger back then, 35 years younger to be exact. Streets of This Town is a very good album and still gets regular play at my house. It was just re-released and I plan to get a copy.
