Erster Hit: Shame On Me (1962) Erster Top Ten Hit: Detroit City (1963)

Der ehemalige Farm- und Fabrikarbeiter Bobby Bare begann seine Karriere als Gitarrist in einer kleinen Country Band. Kurz bevor er zum Militärdienst eingezogen wurde, nahm er noch rasch den selbstgeschriebenen Titel ,All American Boy“ auf und verkaufte die Aufnahme mit allen Copyrights für 50 Dollar an die Firma Fraternity, welche die Platte auch veröffentlichte, doch nicht unter Bares Name, sondern unter dem Pseudonym Bill Parsons. Der Titel wurde ein Riesenhit und erreichte in der amerikanischen Pophitparade den zweiten Platz im Jahre 1959. Nach dem Militärdienst nahm Bobby Bare einen zweiten Anlauf, schrieb drei Songs für den Film ,Teenage Millionaire“ und hatte mit „Shame On Me“ 1962 seinen ersten Hit.

Bobby Bare gehörte damals, Mitte der 60er Jahre, zu jenen Musikern, die in den Nashville Sound einen „Folksy Touch“ mit dominierenden unverstärkten Gitarren einbrachten und damit dem damaligen Folk-Trend entgegenkamen. Weitere große Bare-Hits hießen ,Detroit City“, „500 Miles Away From Home“, „Miller`s Cave“ und ,Four Strong Winds“.

Nach Exkursionen zu kleineren Plattenfirmen stieß Bobby Bare Ende der 70er Jahre zu Columbia, wo er eine ganze Reihe fantastischer L.P.s einspielte und zahlreiche Hits verbuchen konnte. Dennoch, die ganz großen Erfolge stellten sich nicht mehr ein und so stieß Bobby Bare Mitte der 80er Jahre ein zweites Mal zu Capitol, wo man, ähnlich wie in den 50er Jahren, auch diesmal nicht so recht wusste, was man mit ihm anfangen sollte.

Es blieb bei ein paar Singles mit mittlerem Hitparadenerfolg. Ganz offensichtlich gelingt es Bobby Bare nicht mehr, an seine große Zeit, die 60er Jahre anzuknüpfen.
