5 out of 5 stars Another Gem from Goodman.......2001-11-09

I bought this album simply because it had A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request. Little did I know I'd be getting an album packed full of Goodman classics.

First, let me start out with the first track, If Jethro Were Here. This instrumental prize borderlines with the spiritual for me. When I hear it, I imagine flying over a wooded area viewing rivers, and valleys below; as if I were an eagle soaring high above.

The other great tracks on this album include Vegematic, which applies even today. I know you'll be able to relate to this one! Talk Backwards is a Goodman original that makes you wonder why no other artist has produced a song along the lines of this concept.

Goodman's duet with John Prine on Souvenirs is a classic. I promise you'll love this one. Any baseball fan will appreciate Steve's rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame and his original A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request.

Lastly, as a Jimmy Buffett fan, I never really cared for Buffett's recording of California Promises. However, Steve seems to give it meaning and substance on this album. Simply put, he wrote it, and he knows exactly how to make it work. God bless the late Steve Goodman.

5 out of 5 stars Laugh with tears in your eyes.......2000-10-05

No doubt - this is my favorite Steve Goodman album. From the biting satire of Watchin' Joey Glow, to the tongue-twisting Talk Backwards, to the still-timely Vegematic, he'll have you rolling in the aisles. Anyone who's parents ever took them to an ice show will have fond memories as well as chuckles to Old Smoothies. His duet, Souvenirs, with John Prine is one of his best. And especially if you know his history and love of the Cubs, A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request will bring a tear to your eye even as he shows you that nothing in life can't be overcome with a dose of humor. His Rowboat came in; don't miss yours and this album.
