1.0 out of 5 stars Another Rerecording, February 19, 2003

Bobby's voice as with all others has lost the range he used to demonstrate. This is not the worst case of a "re-do" I have had the displeasure of hearing, but it still is far short of the original offerings of Bobby during the 60's. As a courtesy to all involved, Be aware these are not all of his original recordings. Buyer Beware!!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's Better Than No Bare at All, I Guess, October 22, 2004

This review is from: All American Boy: 21 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I recall a pair of sisters, lovely girls without dates, playing "Shame on Me" over and over on the jukebox, but Mr. Bare has never emphasized his 1962 successes (including a much underrated "To Whom It May Concern"). He was playing a small country bar in Chicago just two years later when I saw him doing those songs, medley style, including "Dear Wastebasket" and "I Don't Believe I'll Fall in Love Today". Not long afterwards came "Detroit City" and he was in the big time. Pity that all of the songs here couldn't be the originals (like "To Whom it May Concern"). Go for the CD that has those originals if you want to be stirred by memories. This isn't it.

Did not sound at all like the original, I have old 45rpms of these and believe me, do not waste your money if you know anything at all about Bobby Bare's singing. This CD sounded like it was recorded from some practice session of a Bobby Bare wantabe.
