My Take
Bobby Bare is the kind of country artist I find deeply genuine. Songs like "Detroit City" and "500 Miles Away from Home" capture the ache of leaving your roots better than almost anyone, and that homesick honesty is what keeps me coming back to his catalog. As a singer-songwriter from Ironton, Ohio, he carries the unpretentious warmth of real American country rather than its polished commercial version. I also love that the musical thread runs to his son, Bobby Bare Jr. Born in 1935 and still active, his sheer longevity earns my admiration. This is a man who simply lived the music he sang.
