iTunes Review

As the son of a Nashville country legend, Bobby Bare Jr. knows country music deep and well. Yet, he’s always felt free to explore the sound around it. His silly side often mixes with his serious side in the most unexpected places. The title track to this 2010 album is actually a near-tragic tale about his mother’s near-death experience. An acrimonious divorce and remarriage guides this album in strange and beautiful ways. But the real beauty is Bare’s voice. The way it blends for forlorn harmonies on “Don’t Go to Chattanooga,” “Swollen But Not the Same” and “The Summer of ‘93 .” The band, featuring My Morning Jacket’s Carl Brommel, Tommy Blankenship and Patrick Hallahan, crunches the country-rock like they’re Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers surveying the Appalachian mountains with occasional ventures into hard-rock psychedelia (“The Sky Is the Ground”). The performances are tight and assured and give Bare the proper fight. Bare even offers up the stark acoustic piece, “One of Us Has Got to Go.” Heartfelt and humorous, broken down and getting up, Bobby Bare Jr. turns comedy into tragedy and music for all.

Customer Reviews

Outstanding as usual

Start to finish another stellar release form BBJR. Nobody working today writes songs as well crafted and interesting as him. I can literally listen to every song on this and all of his other records over and over and never get bored or sick of them; in fact I get excited to listen every time. Thanks for keeping with it.

Always An Original Experience

One of the greatest songwriters around. Gritty and fun, never boring, Bobby Bare Jr's releases are always an original experience. This one is no exception. Bobby is one of those artists who always keeps you guessing as to what he's up to next. "Rock and Roll Halloween" is a catchy number that begs for a video to be made of it. Song after song Bobby pulls surprise after surprise out of his musical bag of tricks. This tasty new work is just another example of his offbeat talent. Enjoy!

Bare essentials.

Bobby Bare works in the same sort of alt-country vein as Todd Snider Or Hank Williams III. You'll love these twisted twangy songs, by golly.

Nominated for a Grammy at age five for doing a duo with his renowned country music dad, Bobby Bare, Jr., also managed to sing on the Ryman Auditorium stage on its closing night.
