5.0 out of 5 stars
The perfect blend of country music and alternative rock, May 29, 1999
This review is from: Boo-Tay (Audio CD)
I recommend this album very strongly. I purchased after hearing "You Blew Me Off", and quickly found that their were a half dozen better cuts than that. I can't stop listening to "Naked Albino", with its incredible melody and lyrics, and "Loveless", "The Most", "Nothing Better to Do" and "Tabacco Spit" are superior to 95% of what you'll hear on rock radio. I'm not sure the amount of cross-over appeal the album will have, but my kids only had to listen to a few cuts to request I play it in the car. It has supplanted Third Eye Blind as their favorite. I didn't know who the heck Bobby Bare, Jr. was before buying the album. Now I consider him a songwriting genious. I've always loved Jason & The Scorchers and Dash Rip Rock. This album is more rock than rockabilly, and the freshest sound I've heard in a long time.

boo-tay review, July 12, 2000
This review is from: Boo-Tay (Audio CD)
Boo-Tay Bare Jr.'s debut disc is an excellent dose of Country-Rock madness. "Nothin' Better To Do" should of gotten tons of radio play, but again the programers all over this fine land seem to be blind when there is good music floating around. "You Blew Me Off", a alt.rock hit I can't believe it, with it's Gary Glitter Rock & Roll Pt.2 mixed in with it. Other great songs on this disc are "Tobacco Spit", "Patty McBride", "Loveless", "I Hate Myself" and "Why Won't You Love Me". Bobby Bare should feel very proud of his son, Here's hoping Jr. can continue making some more good music in the future.

Bare Jr. rocks all though out this album!, May 5, 1999
This review is from: Boo-Tay (Audio CD)
I'm gonna be honest here, Bare Jr. definitely isn't for everyone. They get a very unique sound from the use of the dulcimer. I saw these guys when they opened for the Black Crowes in Houston. They were greatly unappreciated in my opinion. I got to meet Grimey and Tracy Hackney after there show and they were very nice towards me. They even signed my ticket for me. The reviewer who said that Bobby Bare Jr. is obsessed with 17 year old girls obviously doesn't understand "male drive". Highlights include "The Most", "Faker", "Love-Less", and of course, "You Blew Me Off." If you are into hard rock with a bit of country, this cd is for you.
