The electrifying energy, accomplished guitar, and great lyrics of Steve Goodman lit up the musical world all too briefly. Cut down at the age of 36 by leukemia, Goodman left a lasting legacy of memorable music, which can be heard from front-porch gatherings to homages by his friend, John Prine. Best known for penning "The City of New Orleans," which Prine called "the best damned train song ever written," Goodman was a consummate performer and singer/songwriter. His skills are in evidence on this CD, a 1999 release of an album Goodman recorded in 1973. It contains some of the musician's best-loved tunes, including the humorous and often requested "Chicken Cordon Blues" and "The Vegetable Song (The Barnyard Dance)." The recording illustrates the range of Goodman's skills and concerns. His "Song for David" shows just what a great guitar player he was. In fact, he had provided guitar backup for some of the artists who appear on this recording, including Bob Dylan and David Bromberg. Goodman penned the riveting "Ballad of Penny Evans," his a cappella anti-Vietnam War protest song. He touches on the meaning of love and sanity in Michael Smith's poignant "The Dutchman." The native of Chicago sings of the strongarm tactics of an infamous towing company in "The Lincoln Park Pirates." His father was a used car salesman in Chicago. The advice that the senior Goodman gave him was that buying one was just getting somebody else's troubles; it became the inspiration for the title cut on the album. Goodman is joined by Maria Muldaur on vocals. They sing together in beautiful harmony on this piece, as well as "Don't Do Me Any Favors Anymore." "Somebody Else's Troubles" perhaps best sums up Goodman's dryly humorous viewpoint: "As long as Fate is out there busting somebody else's bubble/Everything's gonna be alright." Goodman is still missed on the college concert and folk festival circuit. His loyal friend John Prine continues to acknowledge Goodman's influence at each performance. This recording presents a good overview of the prodigious talent and gifts that Steve Goodman gave the music world.

A brief note on Bob Dylan’s various pseudonyms used on different recording sessions: Blind Boy Grunt is NOT the only pseudonym Dylan has used on record: he also appears as piano player Bob Landy on the Elektra anthology The Blues Project (on the song "Downtown Blues"), as Tedham Porterhouse when playing harmonica on Ramblin' Jack Elliott's 1964 album track "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," and as Robert Milkwood Thomas when adding piano and harmony vocals to Steve Goodman's "Somebody Else's Troubles" in the early 1970s (Allmusic.com) – which is the album we have here.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2.

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine

-         Cover has a TINY cutout saw-mark (an indent about 2-3 mm long ) on one of its seams.

-         Visible shelf wear noted on the top and bottom seams

-         Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
