 (2 Customer Reviews)
After more than a quarter-century of making records, Steve Forbert sounds as engaged as ever on JUST LIKE THERE'S NOTHIN' TO IT, his first studio album since the Grammy-nominated Jimmie Rodgers tribute ANY OLD TIME. After that brief country dalliance, he's back to form, mining a rich folk-rock vein. His muscular band of session men is fully capable of rocking out, as on the working-man's-ennui lament "I Just Work Here," and churning out sparkling pop ("Autumn This Year"), but there's some effective balladry from this veteran singer/songwriter as well. The wry humor that's always been part of Forbert's charm is at the center of the piano-based tune "The World Is Full of People" and the gentle-but-unsentimental "I Married a Girl," a riposte to a tumultuous relationship. Whatever the mode, it's the small surprises of lyric and melody that catch the listener by the ear and the heart here, just as it's always been with Forbert's music.

Irving Berlin may have been the best songwriter of the 20th century; he was certainly the best song publisher. Running his own company and promoting his own copyrights, Berlin was an expert at exploitation, finding new ways to sell old songs. One of his best ideas was to come up with, package, and sell to a studio a new movie musical that would feature both newly written material and some of his evergreens. Examples include Alexander's Ragtime Band (1938) and Blue Skies (1946), but Berlin really worked his recycling magic to perfection in 1954, when he managed to get into movie theaters both White Christmas and There's No Business Like Show Business within months of each other, the former in October, the latter in December. White Christmas was a sort of rough sequel to an earlier Berlin film that had employed all-new songs, Holiday Inn (1942). In that picture, Bing Crosby had played a song-and-dance man who runs a New England hotel open only on holidays; Fred Astaire was his sometime partner and rival in romantic matters. Of course, the major hit from the film was "White Christmas." Originally, White Christmas the movie was intended to re-pair Crosby and Astaire as a couple of song-and-dance men who were also World War II veterans in a plot that found them rescuing the fortunes of a New England hotel run by their old general while also wooing two sisters who had their own musical act (an act strongly reminiscent of the disbanded Clooney Sisters, with still-active Rosemary Clooney playing one sister and Vera-Ellen the other). By the time of production, Astaire had been replaced by Donald O'Connor, who had been replaced by Danny Kaye. The result was an enormous hit: White Christmas was by far the highest grossing movie ...
