Album Notes & Community Reviews

Revolving around the emotionally devastating Tompall Glaser and Harlan Howard penned title track, 'The Streets of Baltimore' is a hallmark of narrative country music. Bobby Bare's measured, deeply resonant vocal delivery explores themes of urban disillusionment and marital fracture, perfectly framed by pristine RCA studio production.
