Our Take

Ladies and gents, hold on to your cowboy hats because we're diving into the wild world of country music with Bobby Bare's latest offering, "The Moon Was Blue". This album is like a neon-lit honky-tonk bar on a stormy night - moody, atmospheric, and full of surprises.

Bare's distinctive vocals are as smooth as a barrel-aged bourbon, effortlessly gliding over twangy guitars and weepy steel strings. Tracks like "Summer Wages" and "Some Days Are Diamonds" showcase the artist's storytelling prowess, weaving tales of heartache, longing, and the inevitable highs and lows of life.

But don't let the melancholy fool you - there's a mischievous twinkle in Bare's eye that adds a playful edge to even the most sombre tunes. The jaunty "Stars in My Crown" and the rollicking "Maggie (I Wish We'd Never Met)" are guaranteed to get toes tapping and hips swaying, even as you wipe away a stray tear.

Overall, "The Moon Was Blue" is a testament to Bare's enduring talent and his ability to breathe fresh life into classic country sounds. So grab a cold beer, dim the lights, and let Bobby Bare take you on a captivating journey through the dusty backroads of Americana. Trust us, you won't regret it.
