b. Robert Joseph Bare, 7 April 1935, Ironton, Ohio, USA. Bare was raised on a farm; his mother died when he was five, and his sister was adopted. As an adolescent, he dreamed of being Hank Williams: "then Hank died and I didn't want to be like him no more". Nevertheless, he started songwriting and secured an early morning radio spot, and later worked on television in Charleston, West Virginia. He moved to California and impressed Capitol Records, recording for them in 1955. After receiving his draft notice in 1958, he wrote a parody of Elvis Presley going into the army, "All American Boy". Returning to Ohio to join the army, he met his friend Bill Parsons and joined his recording session. He contributed "All American Boy' with the intention that Parsons would lear More...

I still remember having to sing the verse with a cold and did the amps help intensify my hoarse voice. I have a memory of a concert not even my kids have and still cherish it. Best wishes and health to you and yours. D.W.T. Detroit City, 1963 . . . | Reviewer: Dave Hulsey ------ About artist/band Bobby Bare Well I guess I have been a fan of Bobby Bare for almost 50 years. I was 15 years old in 1963 we lived on a military base (my father was in the Air Force). There was a juke box in the base snack bar and Detroit City had to be the most popular song. You could see it in the faces of those young GI's -- everyone related to that idea of "I want to go home". What a great singer and song writer! If a man cannot relate to Bobby Bare, he may not be a real American (or he may not be a real man). When I was in Nashville a few years ago, I walked out of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge and went across the street to the Ernest Tubb Record Store. I had one singer on my mind--Bobby Bare. I purchased a Bobby Bare greatest hits CD and I sure got my money's worth. Now I try to learn the history and the collaboration of every great Bare song. The more I know, the better I like him. Sure would like to see him on stage. Dave Ironton Ohio years | Reviewer: Lamar Hall ------ About artist/band Bobby Bare I met Bob while I was home on leave we had a coupla cold drinks and hung abit. After I got out of the service I ran into his brothe Buzzard or Lawrence I was wondering why he is never mentioned as Bobs family and how he is doing Bob always loved your music still have first album Thanks for the memories My daddy used to be friends with Bobby | Reviewer: Debra ------ About artist/band Bobby Bare Hi..My daddy used to be friends with Bobby Bare many years ago, around in the late 1950's. I do believe they would play music together and do some partying...My dad's name is Thelmer Wolford...We lived around Wellston, Ohio. My daddy has many good things to say about Bobby. God bless you. Bobby's early or first album | Reviewer: George Lester ------ About artist/band Bobby Bare I was a DJ for a rock and roll station in San Antonio. I think it must have been about 1965. We received Bobby's album and even though it didn't really fit our format we were so impressed by his talent we played it on our station. I personally was crazy about his singing and the songs and when I heard he was to be appearing soon in San Antonio I managed to get a backstage pass hoping to meet this great new country sensation. I found his dressing room and popped in to talk to him. I raved on and on about how much I enjoyed his new album and how I played it even though we weren't a country station. Bobby sat there politely listening to the praise I was piling on him without comment. Just about then one of his friends walked by the dressing room door. Bobby called out to him to wait up and then he got up and walked away chatting with him as if I had never even been in the room. At the time I thought he must be the rudest person I had ever met. Later, after talking to others who knew him, I learned that was just one his peculiarities and he meant no harm. I would really appreciate information on what album that was so I could get the CD. The only thing I can remember was a song about how he would lie awake at night and listen to some neighbor girls singing next door in Newport, Arkansas. I would cherish that album if I could buy it Loan Payday | Reviewer: Sivan ------ About the song Let's Make Love Not War performed by Bobby Bare Hi all. Is there life before death? I am from Turkey and also am speaking English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Introduction how to start a business in san luis obispo county is designed to give you the." With love :-(, Sivan. Old Friend | Reviewer: Leon Turner ------ About artist/band Bobby Bare Bobby and I were friends in tbe early 60's he produced a recording on me called "Leavin' Town" in 1962 Bobby wrote the song and Waylon Jennings covered the song in 1966, Bobby is a great artist and song writer and has always been willing to help someone out, any way he could. Bobby Bare sings Tom T. | Reviewer: mike o'connell ------ About the song (margie's At) The Lincoln Park Inn performed by Bobby Bare Bobby Bare lends a sweetness to several of T's creations that we don't get in T's own vocal versions. Waitress at the Main Street Cafe, I Took a Memory to Lunch, Where Have All the Seasons Gone, to name a few. Some people tire of the monotone style of standards like A Week in a Country Jail and The Ballad of Forty Dollars, but when we hear Bare sing Margie we realize what a great and versatile melodist T was. Some of T's side B album stuff like I Flew Over Our House Last Night and Little Brown Suitcase still blows me away. Song I Wrote For Bare | Reviewer: Lathan Hudson ------ About artist/band Bobby Bare I had written this song for Bobby Bare titled LEAVING LOVE ALL OVER THE PLACE but the last verse deals (humorously) with death and my wanting to play it for Bare coincided with his daughter's loss of life. I took it to Don Gant at TREE Publishers and Don played it for Billy Sherrill who recorded it on GEORGE JONES. It was the "B" Side of a Bob McDill song titled I'LL JUST TAKE IT OUT IN LOVE which was on the BARTENDER BLUES Album. I always regret that I didn't get to pitch the song for Bobby Bare because it was 'taylor-made' for Bobby. I am a Bobby Bare fan and always will be...Lathan Hudson The Streets Of Baltimore | Reviewer: Bobby Williams ------ About artist/band Bobby Bare This is probably without a doubt his best work.I find it hard to believe it isn't available on CD. Although I've made copies from the L.P., it just isn't the same as a true digital copy without all the hiss etc.The L.P. tell a story of sorts Bare's Picks | Reviewer: Bill Parker ------ About artist/band Bobby Bare I have the Bobby Bare CD "The Columbia Years--Bare's Picks" and play it over and over. It never seems to get old. The varied selections, ranging from "New Cut Road" to "Numbers" are as fresh today as they were when they first came out. In between are some classic songs that bring back memories of my days as a young picker and a dreamer. I particularly like the song that begins with, "Me and Jimmy Rogers..." It's the quintessential day dreamer's song that immediately transports us back to our adolescent years, back to times when we were shooting imaginary hoops in imaginary games while imaginary crowds roared their approval. Bare's voice and presentation of the material create the perfect mood for these stories. What a great CD and what a great artist.

I have been a fan of Bare's music since 1964. I have an I-pod with 455 of his songs on it. I play it all the time. He is the best of the best. I too was a Hank Williams fan. But since discovering Bare, rarely listen to him. I wish Bare would make a great comeback, all his fans miss him. The wife and I have attended several of his concerts and will attend more. We go to his concerts if they are within a days drive of our house. Return home the following day. I met him in his wifes shop in Nashville during the 1991 Fan Fair. Bobby is simply THE GREATEST. DEAR JOHN LETTER | Reviewer: Neil Nusbaum ------ About the song Dear John Letter performed by Bobby Bare I believe all your posted lyrics are correct, BUT, you show only one LONG verse. I recall the same words being split up into two verses with Skeeter singing the chorus between verses, and again after the second verse. Great Song | Reviewer: Mitch OBrien ------ About the song Winner performed by Bobby Bare This song is a Bobby Bare Classic, if you have not heard it do yourself a favor and listen to it sometime. With lyrics like "you gotta speak loud when you challenge me son cause its hard for me to hear, with this twisted neck, these migrane pains and this big ol collerflower ear" you can't go wrong. country | Reviewer: jimmy ------ About the song Singin' In The Kitchen performed by Bobby Bare ben lokking 4 this song all day i know the words lokking 4 the song . can you help?
