Drunk & Crazy Plus

I had a copy of this album way back when it first came out and it got so worn out from playing it every time we partied that I had to retire it. I had looked for years and couldn't find another copy of the LP, nor a CD of it until now. Yea! Amazon had it!!!It's a Bobby Bare that a lot of people aren't familiar with... the darker side of his comic wit shows through on a lot of the songs. They are NOT politically correct, but for those of us who can take a joke and not get our panties in a wad, it's hillarious. Songs with lines in them like, "Baby I'm sorry I done you like that, I called you a name and I gave you a whack, then I spit in your eye and gave your wrist a twist, but if that ain't love what is?" or, "I called up the police, swore that you stole my car, then showed some nekid pictures of you down at the bar, then I pointed out the part of me that you used to kiss and if that ain't love what is?" Like I say, if you understand it's a joke and you take it the way it was intended you'll love it.There are some other songs on the album that aren't funny, but are more along the lines of the stuff you are used to hearing Bobby play and they're good too.Like I say, this is an album from my younger days and it brought back lots of fun memories. To me, it's timeless.

I had the vinyl album back when it was new. Not ALL the tracks are what I consider "outstanding Bobby Bare", but there are enough of them to make this a very good one to have. My personal favorites are "I Gotta' Get Rid of This Band"; "...Never Gone To Bed With an Ugly Woman..."; "Bathroom Tissue Paper Letter"; "Drinkin' & Druggin' and Watching TV"; and "Appaloosa Rider", although I'm probably forgetting some others. All in all, a great little CD to put you in the mood for a good party.

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.

This LP was out of print for many years and the Austraila Bare fans graciously reissued it.The tracks Food Blues,Worlds Last Truck Driven Man and If that Aint Love are my favorite's.I spent my post adolescent years roughnecking in Wyoming and every juke Box blasted this stuff.I dont think you will be dissappointed (If you are a Bare fan).

Wonderful CD ~ Many great songs included i\on this musical assortment. I don't know of an artist that can sing a 'funny" song better than Bobby Bare. This is a CD that I label "must Have" for your collection.

This is a seriously awesome album. I have bought it now for 3 people as gifts... they all love it. I can almost see Houston from here and the Food Blues are our favorites.

A great album, I really like it. Originally bought it just for the "New Cut Road", but like all the songs.

This is the best ever honky-tonk CD.

excellent value

Great songs with plenty of comedy. Originally had the vinyl and need to udate.

Ich habe mich riesig gefreut, diese CD zu veröffentlichen, die Anfang der 80er Jahre im Original mit 15 Songs erschienen ist. Nun gibts endlich eine CD-Ausgabe und 9 Bonustracks aus dem Archiv sind ein schöner Grund, sie sich nochmal zuzulegen.Mich hatte damals eine 5-Sterne-Rezension im Musikexpress (damals war das die Höchstnote) zum Kauf veranlaßt. Damals wurde hauptsächlich auf Rock'n Roll-Songs wie den Titeltrack abgehoben, denn mit einem Countryalbum hätte man kaum ME-Leser hinter dem Ofen hervorgelockt. Neben etlichen Shel-Silverstein-Titeln mit witzigen, rauhbeinigen und bisweilen derben Texten gibts feines von Charlie Daniels, Bob McDill und Guy Clark. "Desperados" und "Song Of The South" lernte ich später in anderen Versionen kennen, aber Bobby Bare blieb für mich mit seiner Whyskey-Melancholie unerreicht. Auch wenns uns damals als Countryrock verkauft wurde und rockige Nummern auf dem Album sind, gabs auch einige typische sentimentale Countrynummern, die aber nie kitschig waren und von Bobby Bare genauso überzeugend dargeboten wurden wie die augenzwinkernden Nummern. Bobby Bare bewies Vielseitigkeit und kann mit diesem Album auch heute noch bestehen, obwohl ich inzwischen sehr viele großartige Countrysachen in allen möglichen Spielarten kennengelernt habe.

Bobby Bare is soooo amazing...love him!!!

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.
