Album Notes & Community Reviews

Outlaw country veteran Bobby Bare delivered a rugged, deeply humorous collection of character studies and southern rock-tinged narratives on 'Down & Dirty'. The album showcases his warm, conversational baritone and features writing contributions from prominent country songwriters like Shel Silverstein and Bob McDill. It perfectly captures the rebellious, anti-Nashville spirit of the outlaw movement.
