Veteran country singer Bobby Bare's return to solo recording after a 20-year hiatus is overseen by his son, Bobby Bare, Jr., who augments strictly traditional arrangements with off-kilter sonic flourishes and appearances from neo-country interpreters like violinist Andrew Bird and singer-songwriter Paul Burch. Bare's world-weary voice eases comfortably into a set of tried-and-true covers that spans classics like Shel Silverstein's "Ballad of Lucy Jordan," "Love Letters in the Sand," and "Am I That Easy to Forget," while Bobby Jr.'s frequently inspired production both highlights the music's familiarity and accentuates its weirdness.

Entertainment Weekly (No. 847, p.87) - "...This is the comeback event of 2005...." - Grade: A- Bobby Bare Moon Was Blue Songs Moon Was Blue Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   A very mellow Bare
Not the Bobby Bare with the crazy lyrics and self depreciating humor we have come to expect, but very nice.

Impressive Return to the Spotlight
After an extended period of time with no new releases, except for a joint project with Jerry Reed, Mel Tillis, and Waylon Jennings called Old Dogs, in 1998, Bobby Bare is back with an entirely new CD.
The CD's production was heavily influenced by Bobby's son, Bobby Bare Jr., and that is the only reason I don't give it 5 stars. As an old fan of Bobby Bare, I don't fully appreciate the odd sounds etc., that Bare Jr. inserted. I do realize, and hope, that the oddities of this production will gain Mr. Bare some new and younger fans.
Other than that, the CD is wonderful. The song selection is great, and the vocals are very impressive.
I hope this is only the first of several new releases by Bobby Bare.

Carl Smith's legacy and reputation is built on the hardcore honky tonk he cut for Columbia in the '50s, which ranks among the purest and best of its era. Since the dawn of the CD reissue boom in the '80s, that has been the Carl Smith music that's been reissued, first on Columbia/Legacy's excellent The Essential Carl Smith (1950-1956) then on Bear Family's fine 1996 five-disc box set Satisfaction Guaranteed, which contained the entirety of his '50s recordings. So much emphasis was placed on this era that listeners who came to Smith late may have thought he didn't record or didn't have success in the '60s, when the opposite is true. He continued recording for Columbia in the '60s, and while he rarely broke the country Top Ten, he placed frequently in the Top 20 right into 1970, ranking as one of the most consistent, reliable singers of the decade. This material remained out of print until Collectors Choice's 2002 collection The Sixties Hits of Carl Smith, which rounded up 24 of his hits, including every side that charted in the Top 20, along with seven singles that charted in the Top 40 or beyond. Smith didn't play it as pure as he did during the '50s: his honky tonk became a little less gritty, his productions were a little smoother, occasionally adding sweet backing vocals, he dabbled in folk and pop inflections, and he generally streamlined ...

Lou Reed's THE RAVEN is based on and inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name. This single CD features highlights from the complete 2-CD set also titled THE RAVEN.
Lou Reed's THE RAVEN is based on and inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name.
Edgar Allan Poe was a man who usually looked on the dark side of life, had more than a few less-than-healthy romantic and sexual obsessions, was known to dabble in dangerous drugs, and was fascinated with the possibilities of the English language, so it's no wonder why Lou Reed regards Poe as a kindred spirit. In his liner notes to the album The Raven, Reed touches on the parallels between their work when he writes, "I have reread and rewritten Poe to ask the same questions again. Who am I? Why am I drawn to do what I should not?...Why do we love what we cannot have? Why do we have a passion for exactly the wrong thing?" Reed's obsession with Poe's work found a creative outlet when visionary theatrical director Robert Wilson commissioned Reed to adapt Poe's works to music for a production called POE-Try, and The Raven collects the material Reed wrote for this project, as well as a number of dramatic interpretations of Poe's work, featuring performances by Willem Dafoe, Steve Buscemi, Elizabeth Ashley, Amanda Plummer, and others. The limited-edition two-disc version of The Raven gives a nearly equal balance to words and music; while the single-disc edition is dominated by Reed's songs, the double-disc set features a much greater number of spoken-word pieces, most of which have been filtered throu

| | Lonesome, On'Ry And Mean: A Tribute To Waylon Jennings. CD (2003)
Moon Was Blue CD music
$11.59 
Tribute albums, sadly, are the way many listeners are introduced to veteran artists, but 2003's Lonesome, On'ry and Mean: A Tribute to Waylon Jennings -- released roughly a year after Jennings' death -- is botched as an introduction and as a tribute or even just as a good listen. Pretty much everything that could go wrong with a tribute does, with songs sinking even if they're performed ...

A FEW WORDS OF PRAISE:"Killin'" -Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck)"Some incredible sh*t. That's some futuristic sh*t." -Bobby Sparks (Marcus Miller, Roy Hargrove)BIO:Hailing from the unassuming Texas town that produced Roy Orbison, The Eagles, Brave Combo, and Blood, Sweat, & Tears, Snarky Puppy is spreading its infectious blend of jazz, soul, and world music to an audience hungry for something creative and inspiring. Made up entirely of past and present music students from the highly esteemed University of North Texas (affectionately referred to as "the Juilliard of the South"), the band effortlessly blends a strong sense of musicality and virtuosity with raw, organic musical instincts. The 9-piece group is doing something very relevant, and something very honest- they're making ...
