Customer Reviews:

The Essential Bobby Bare.......2006-07-28

I was glad to find and purchase this CD. I have been looking for this CD for months and was able to give this CD as a gift to my family. The service(quick delivery time) was awesome and really love the music too.

Decent album.......2005-09-01

One of the better "Best OF...." albums. To be honest, I care little for the sound of '70's country music, although there were a few notable exception. Bobby Bare, despite his early Rock-n-Roll venture, stayed true to form and put out a few memorable hits for a wasted decade. I could do without the obligatory "father to son" talking song so popular in this era (Thank you Red Sovine, Bill Anderson, etc....), but the good far outweighs the bad on this album. Not sure that Bobby was ever an "outlaw" (and after judging by today's definition of that crowd, he may not want to be associated with the term anyway!), but he did things his own way; which is why I think he flourished during the death of the Nashville Sound and the increasing Disco beats of Barbara Mandrell and Kenny & Dolly. The recordings on this albium are superb, and you can really appreciate Bobby's straight-forward, no-nonsense, approach to presenting a song. Overall, I give the album a grade of B.

Bobby Bare as good as expected.......2005-08-21

I haven't heard a Bare song on the radio in quite a while and it is quite enjoyable to listen to his songs.The best being Detroit City followed closely by 500 miles from home and The All American Boy. The delivery service was better than expected and the cd as I stated is a good one.
I haven't had the oppertunity to watch Path to Power as of yet, so I can offer no review on this dvd, except to say the delivery service was better than expected.

SOME Essentials Here + Cowboys and Daddys (No).......2005-01-12

Lackluser reviews, folks. You can do better. A fair number of "hits" but still ignoring "Shame on Me" and "Just to Satisfy You". Not all essentials have to be hick stuff (or on virtually every other Bare CD). And for those still looking for "Cowboys and Daddys", try MusicMatch.com and look for the "Masters" album.

A Minority Opinion! This One Grew Stale........2002-05-14

I just completed a review of "The Essential Dotty West" in which I wrote that the CD grew on me the more I listen. This is the opposite. I grew tired of "The Essential Bobby Bare" very quickly. I believe this is due to the fact that Bobby sings mechanicallly, just like a performer in the studio grinding them out.Perhaps Bobby has made one bus tour too many. I may be prejudiced because I've read that Bobby was one of the early "OUTLAWS" who, it says here, tried to ruin country music for their own gain. On a positive note, these "Essential" group of albums seem to br very well produced. I would urge amazon listeners to acquaint themselves with this series of classic country.
