Product Information

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.
