become known as The Nashville Sound.
One of the most successful exponents of the sound that opened the doorway for his success in country music.
From the mid-60s, ‘The Travelin’ Bare’ (1964), ‘Constant Sorrow’ (1965) and ‘The Streets of Baltimore’ (1966) perfectly fitted RCA’s Folk/Country marketing tag.
The recordings covered a diverse music field that moved from Dylan and 60s pop culture to Nashville’s new breed
of writers like Harlan Howard, Willie Nelson and Hank Cochran, plus a few of his own originals.
These albums give an early indication of Bare’s ability as aalented judge of songs, a skill that led Waylon Jennings to later cite him as the best song hound in the world.
He was born Robert Joseph ‘Bobby’ Bare on April, 7th 1935 in Lawrence County, Ohio and raised on a farm. In his early teens he first envisaged himself as an entertainer. That’s when he started listening to the live radio shows and to the records of Hank Williams, Carl Smith, Ernest Tubb and Frankie Laine.
He achieved 69 chart singles and 28 chart albums over an illustrious career. In 2013 he received Country Music’s
highest honour – induction into the Country Music Hall Of Fame
