In his own quiet way, Bobby Bare has long been regarded as one of Country Music’s most innovative and talented writer/performers. “I’ve never believed in standing still with my music,” he says, and the diversity of his recordings are testimony to the success of this approach.
Called “an outspoken advocate for new directions in Country Music,” “a shrewd judge of talent who helped bring attention to a number of superstars,” “a Country artist who successfully experimented with the Folk genre” and “a storyteller who reinvigorated the storytelling tradition in Country music,” Bare has proven to have all of these attributes and more. One of his closest friends, Waylon Jennings, said he’s never heard anybody say anything bad about Bobby Bare and never heard anybody say Bobby Bare had done something wrong to them. Bare is also funny, smart, very, very laid back and an individualist who has imprinted his brand of Country music permanently on the world.
