Bare Tracks

Amazon.com
Though Bobby Bare is not as well remembered as many of his outlaw country compatriots of the 1970s and '80s, his long career was instrumental in blurring the lines between country and folk music, and in bringing pop and rock influences to Nashville production. Collecting songs recorded between 1978 and 1983, Bare Tracks highlights hits and misses alike. Boudleaux Bryant, Guy Clark, and Tom T. Hall all contribute songs, but the chime-in-if-you're-feelin'-it atmosphere of Shel Silverstein's novelty songs like "Greasy Grit Gravy" (featuring Willie Nelson and a cast of characters), "Tequila Sheila," and "Numbers" (a No. 1 hit) are where the real fun begins. Guest appearances come from Charlie Daniels and Rosanne Cash, who contributes a fine duet on husband Rodney Crowell's "No Memories Hangin' Round." --Alexandra Russell

Bear Tracks.......2007-03-09

This CD is another great CD from Bobby Bear collection a must for BOBBY Bear fans. The price was great another hard to find CD in stores.

Not his best.......2002-12-19

Bobby Bare is a great singer, one of the most underrated country singers ever. However, most of the songs on this cd pale in comparison to his earlier work like "Detroit City" and "Millers Cave".

One Of The Great Country Singers.......2001-10-11

This Is Bobby Bare At Is Best Have Been A Fan Of The Man For A
Long Long Time He Is One Of The Great Country Singers To Have

Bare Tracks Through Moderate Material.......2000-04-15

Bobby Bare is undeniably a legendary songwriter and performer; when he is at his best, as on his classic "Lullaby's, Legends and Lies", he exudes an intelligence and charm that elude most performers today. Over the course of his long and varied career, Bare has recorded for several labels, and this release, "Bare Tracks", attempts to summarize his seven-year stint at Columbia, with mixed results. One of Bare's strengths is his ability to transcend the most mediocre of material and unfortunately, there's plenty to be found on this release. When he and his songwriting collaborator Shel Silverstein are at their peak (as on the two best-known tracks here, "Numbers" and "Tequila Shiela"), Bare is simply unstoppable, with all of his prodigious talent on display. Unfortunately, several of Silverstein's other songs seem unmotivated and careless; Bare fights hard to maintain sheds of dignity in tracks like "Greasy-Grit Gravy", "Food Blues" and "Diet Song", but he succumbs to the sub-par material. He turns in some stunning work on two Guy Clark cuts, "Let Him Roll" and "New Cut Road", but the album as a whole seems distant and unstable. Personal Favorites: the sharp commentary on gender communication found in "Numbers"; the twisted tale of a fugitive on the run in "Tequila Shiela"; and the rollicking rhythm bouncing down "New Cut Road". Representative Lyrics: "She said, 'Well, another one of those macho 'matician men/ Trying to grade all women on a scale from one to ten!/ Now you give me an eight?/ Well, that's a generous thing to do/ Now let's just see just how much I give YOU.'" ("Numbers"); "Pour me another tequila, Shiela/ Take off your new satin dress/ I crossed the border/ And I beat the dealer/ For all of the gold in Juarez." ("Tequila Shiela")

Great follow up album.......2006-09-23

What more can I say? Whenever I am describing this band, I always tell people the Crooks are what Social Distortion should have been - gritty, heartfelt rock -n- roll, with a little bit of country thrown in to boot. "Wrong Side Of The Tracks" is every bit as good as their first album. If you are a fan of Rock -n- Roll, Rockabilly, or Americana, get this album now! Hear song samples on CDBaby.

The Dopest Hip Hop CD in Ages!!!!.......2001-10-25

This CD is unreal. It has a raw and unique hip hop vibe, something that is very much needed in this day and age of hip hop music. It doesn't sound like anything else out there, and it definitely THUMPS. The lyrics are unbelieveably witty and slick, and the tracks bang off of the richter scale. This is a definite must have item.
