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 ... Full Descriptionlike 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.

I REMEMBER MILES won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.
This stunning album is Shirley Horn's loving tribute to her friend and colleague, the legendary late Miles Davis. Davis was so taken by Horn's first album EMBERS AND ASHES that he forced The Village Vanguard to let her virtually-unknown trio open for him during his 1961 run there. Their friendship and admiration for each other's music lasted through the years, and Shirley Horn's 1991 recording YOU WON'T FORGET ME, was one ...
| | Dierks Bentley Modern Day Drifter: Limited Edition CD (2005) With DVD; Limited Edition; Enhanced CD
Moon Was Blue CD music
$20.55 
When hearing about Dierks Bentley's life, the title of MODERN DAY DRIFTER begins to make sense; the Nashville-based singer spends nearly 300 days a year on the road, playing everything from frat houses to small-town fairs. All this hard work has paid off in spades, as Bentley's sophomore record has that no-frills, worn-in feeling that characterizes the best country music.
Refreshingly free of faux-hillbilly novelty songs and over-the-top sentimentality, MODERN DAY DRIFTER is full of matter-of-fact tunes about everyday situations. "Lot of Leavin' Left to Do" is classic roadhouse love-gone-wrong music, complete with a four-on-the-floor Waylon Jennings-style beat and ...

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.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 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.
