"Steve Forbert tells great stories. ...[his]memoir may be one of the best of the year... Big City Cat focuses on the power of songwriting, the power of music to shape a life, and Forbert's continuing passion for writing songs and the way that music inhabits him. ...Reading [it] is like sitting down with an old friend, listening to him spin out stories as you'd listen to some old familiar, favorite music. ...Big City Cat, offers a glimpse into the ways that Forbert continues to develop this gift of creativity that has sustained him all these years."
