20 Greatest Hits

by Bobby Bare

Overview

20 GREATEST HITS brings together Bobby Bare's best and best-known tunes in one perfectly assembled overview. Part of Bare's enduring appeal is his ability to flit between honky tonk, Countrypolitan-styled country-pop, folky story-songs, ballads, and almost everything else while still managing to make it all his own. But while Bare's stylistic range impresses, and his performances are consistently appealing, it is his songwriting that really dazzles. In fact, there isn't a dud on this set, from the twangy sing-along of "Detroit City" to the comic gender-war narrative, "Numbers," to the drawling rockabilly of "All American Boy," the singer's first hit song. Witty, poignant, and infectiously catchy, Bare's songs stand up one after the other.
