County singer, Bobby Bare has released a surprising sometimes stunning new record, "The Moon Was Blue," co-produced by his son Bobby Bare Jr, twenty years after his last album. This was the gist of a recent newspaper article that caught my eye. Why?
Well because way back in the 1970s, as a young babysitter, I was introduced to the music of Bobby Bare in particular his album, "Lullabys, Legends and Lies". On one of the tracks, a shy 5 year old Bobby ... ...lullabies, legends and lies".
Bobby Bare was quite innovative for his day. He always promoted his belief that the songwriters were more important than singers. He was the first country singer to produce his own records and the first to make what was termed a concept album..

Additional notes
Album Notes: One of the finest country albums of the 1970s, LULLABYS, LEGENDS AND LIES marks a crucial point in Bobby Bare's career. Bare already had a body of impressive work behind him by the early '70s, but recording an entire album of tunes by Shel Silverstein (of "A Boy Named Sue" fame) gave him an extra dimension of humor, looseness, and rowdy, left-of-center "outlaw" cred. Living up to the album's title, Silverstein's songs are often wild, absurd, larger-than-life accounts of unusual places and people, and Bare's warm, amiable, charismatic vocal presence is the perfect vehicle to bring them to life. As estimable as the catalogs of Bare and Silverstein are, this album is probably the peak for both.
Album Reviews: No Depression (p.84) - "[Bare] gathered fourteen Silverstein story-songs and sang them with a deep, knowing voice that held every bit of plot and humor and wisdom up for display."
