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.

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 music as a generation immersed in diversity. Bjork, Dave Holland, D'Angelo, Wayne Krantz, Pat Metheny, Lettuce, and Radiohead resonate within the compositions to form the unified, unique, soulful sound that is unmistakably Snarky Puppy.The group was formed in 2004 by award-winning bassist and composer Michael League, and immediately gained the support of a large, diverse audience. Snarky Puppy was signed by the very progressive S.I.T.M.O.M. Records in fall of 2005, and subsequently recorded and released their first studio record, ...
