for some reason or another, i have never listened to bobby bare jr even though he has been around what seems forever. it just hasnt happened, and this song is still the only think i have heard from him. i dig it quite a bit, though. so, i may need to check his stuff out. anyone got any recommendations on where to start? his new one, due out tomorrow, is entitled a storm – a tree – my mothers head. the title coming from the fact that a 08 storm brought a tree down onto the bare home with his mother inside it. she later recovered, btw. the record was recorded over two days with the help of most of my morning jacket. he’s currently on tour, and playing tucson tonight, but check his site for all the dates.

Start with From the End of Your Leash, then work back to the Young Criminal’s Starvation League debut, then back to The Longest Meow. I’ve never really listened to the stuff he put out in the 90s as Bare Jr.
cool, thanks. will definitely give his stuff a listen…
If sad smile is the first thing to catch you I think you would most like a mix of songs from Leash and the new one. I think once you fall for End of your leash, you will want the new once and Longest Meow. Meow was my first and it sat… then I fell for Leash, just got the new one, now I am back on Meow and loving it.
check my site for some links to videos from his show last week in chicago.
enjoy.
