Steve Goodman spent decades in the Chicago folk and country scene before this 2019 session, and Affordable Art finds him in a wry, conversational mood with a band that's equally locked in. The songs are character-driven and plainly written—titles like "How Much Tequila (Did I Drink Last Night?)" point to Goodman's dry sense of humor—but they're anchored in genuine musicianship and warmth. There's real chemistry between the players here; they swing naturally and let each other breathe. Goodman's voice has that ragged authenticity of someone who's actually lived the stories he's telling. If you appreciate folk and country that doesn't pretend to be more than it is, this will reward your time.
