Remixed, re-mastered, and retitled, Steve Forbert presents The Things That I See, a sonically updated version of his 2015 release, Compromised. The release celebrates the 10thanniversary of the original, critically acclaimed album. The former title track, “Compromised”, begins the song cycle with a determined stride. Steve Forbert’s unique vocal becomes a light that draws in listeners as the song seeks to find balance in a relationship. An assured stomp is the beat carries Steve Forbert as he shares the story in “When I Get to California” while The Things That I See strips back the playing for the rolling Folk Rock rolling of “Devil (Here She Comes)” and “Time Seemed So Free”.
 
A Rock’n’Roll beat backs the hopes in “Drink Red Wine” as a shrugging rhythm matches the story in “Whatever, Man” while Steve Forbert ponders how things went wrong with “I Don’t Know If You Know It”. The Things That I See revisits the early days of the British Invasion when its title track recalls a fated meeting in “You’d See the Things That I See (The Day John Met Paul)”, jumping ahead a few years to the day the 60’s died at Altamont Speedway with “Welcome the Rolling Stones”. A rattling groove discusses “A Big Comeuppance” as it sways along the good feeling of “Rollin’ Home to Someone You Love”. A bright bounce accompanies Steve Forbert as he covers a cut from the musical A Little Night Music with “Send in the Clowns” as The Things That I See makes an exit strutting with the news that “Ebenezer’s Back in Town”.
