Synopsis

Album Description
Raven presents, for the first time on CD, one of the greatest live recordings ever! By 1979, BOBBY BARE had been recording for 25 years yet when he strapped on a Fender Telecaster and recorded live in the studio a rough and rowdy album with a bunch of Nashville's finest musicians, he was set to hit new highs in an illustrious career. Down & Dirty was both a glorious last hurrah for the ?outlaw' movement and a touchstone for the ?new country' of current darlings Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson etc. According to AMG's Thom Jurek it is, "Bare in his element: live, rowdy, and dangerous. This is good-time outlaw country. Bare's band rocks and rolls, swings and strolls through 13 tracks from a rejuvenated Bare. The humor is in large supply; the poignancy is everywhere. But it's the tune selection that makes this is such a killer record." For every outrageous Shel Silverstein song (Numbers, Qualudes Again) there is a tender, sensitive or just plain poetic masterpiece. In the words of Bill Graham, "Bobby Bare is the Bruce Springstein of country music". Embellished with eight stunning bonus tracks, circa 1978-1980, this is good time outlaw country at its finest. Comes with an 8-page booklet with detailed liner notes.

CD Reviews

The True Country Outlaw
C. J. Lock | Centurion South Africa | 11/27/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I can't add much more to the terrific and comprehensive album review that sums up in a nutshell what Bobby Bare has done for Country Music.

I have this album as well as the bonus tracks on vinyl and although the quality of the tracks are excellent and the fact that I have already converted them to a cd, this has not stopped me ordering this album.



There has never been an equal to Bobby Bare in song rendition. He interprets the songs with such meaning that you can actually live inside of them.



Because he was so many years ahead of the dreary country scene at the time, he never received the recognition that was due to him. Therefore, this album will be appreciated in this day and age much more than it did in its time.



I rate this as a true masterpiece from a man that should have been inducted to the Country Hall Of Fame a long time ago. If I as a South African can appreciate the "Bare" then all I can say is "Wake up American country fans and smell the roses". Do something about this injustice to Country Music

"Thank heavens they finally released "Down & Dirty" on CD! My cassette of it gave way years ago and I have been searching for the CD since. This is truly one of the best recordings ever made."
