Product Description
CD Description
For the first time on CD, one of the greatest country albums of all time by Bobby Bare. In 1980 Bare issued the landmark 'Down & Dirty' – which Raven reissued in 2006 (RVCD243) – and as a follow-up DRUNK & CRAZY was a career defining release and an encapsulation of the ‘devil may care’ rambunctious yet poetic style the artist had honed over many years. For the album Bare continued his collaboration with master song writer Shel Silverstein, a musical marriage made in heaven. The album contains some fine examples of Silverstein’s vivid imagination and canny observations. For every wry, humorous song there is a sensitive heartfelt one and they all share a common factor, a message. This perfectly formed album ends with one of the finest versions ever of Guy Clark’s sublime "Desperados Waiting For The Train". Embellished with nine stunning bonus tracks, circa 1978-1983, this is Bobby Bare at the top of his game. Tracks: Drunk And Crazy / Food Blues / The World’s Last Truck Drivin’ Man / I Can Almost See Houston From Here / If That Ain’t Love / Rock And Roll Hotel / Song Of The South / Appaloosa Rider / Bathroom Tissue Paper Letter / Willie Jones / Gotta Get Rid Of This Band / Drinkin’ And Druggin’ And Watchin’ TV / Your Credit Card Won’t Get You Into Heaven / I’ve Never Gone To Bed With An Ugly Woman / Desperados Waiting For The Train. Bonus tracks: Greasy Grit Gravy / New Cut Road / If You Ain’t Got Nothin’ (You Ain’t Got Nothin’ To Lose) / Praise The Lord And Send Me The Money / (They Covered Up) The Old Swimmin’ Hole / Me And Jimmy Rogers / The Jogger / No Memories Hangin’ ‘Round (Rosanne Cash with Bobby Bare) / It’s A Dirty Job (Lacy J Dalton with Bobby Bare).

Unfortunately I haven't listened to the CD I bought as it was a birthday present for my son-in-law but he loves Bobby Bare and gave me a list of CDs he wanted and this one was at the top of his list. He has all his others but this was special.

Drunk and Crazy
27 Jan 2008
Format:Audio CD
I had this album as a vinyl and anything by Shel Silverstein and Bobby Bare is the greatest. Enjoy! Silverstein is grossly under appreciated and Bobby Bare carries the torch..perfectly. Larry Clark

Classic Country Fun at it's best
10 April 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bobby Bare's Drunk & Crazy Album/CD will fill the niche for most classic country fans. From the humorous "Drinkn' and Druggn' & Watching TV" and the downright funny " Drunk & Crazy" the collection is a must have. Although recorded years ago the songs are still relevant for today. Listen for some of the great tag lines like "slid across the floor like a greasy eel" and you just have to smile.

It's about time...
27 Sep 2008
Format:Audio CD
I stole this cassette from my Dad, and then proceeded to wear it out. It is long overdue on CD. Shel Silverstein is as masterful as any Dr. Hook CD. Some of my more favorite songs are the more "serious" pieces, and they should not be overlooked for some of the better commercial successes. A great CD to add to your collection!
