Bobby Bare, Jr. was born on June 28, 1966 in ░▐ ▌░ Nashville, Tennessee; his father was the successful country ░▐ ▌░ singer Bobby Bare, who'd scored hits with the songs "Detroit ░▐ ▌░ City," "500 Miles," and "Streets of Baltimore," among many ░▐ ▌░ others. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ The Bare family lived just outside Nashville in ░▐ ▌░ Hendersonville, Tennessee, where their neighbors were George ░▐ ▌░ Jones and Tammy Wynette. In 1974, Bare brought his son into ░▐ ▌░ the studio to record "Daddy, What If," a Shel Silverstein ░▐ ▌░ tune that imagined a conversation between a father and son. ░▐ ▌░ The tune became a hit and went on to win a Grammy, and Bare ░▐ ▌░ Jr. became a regular presence at his father's concerts, ░▐ ▌░ singing the tune with his dad; when he was too old to perform ░▐ ▌░ the song, he worked as part of Bare's stage crew and at the ░▐ ▌░ merchandise table. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Bare, Jr. is a songwriter who often has a has a hard time ░▐ ▌░ deciding if he wants to be silly or serious and usually ends ░▐ ▌░ up covering a bit of both, which befits a guy who was friends ░▐ ▌░ with Shel Silverstein, a man who made a brilliant career out ░▐ ▌░ of grafting the goofy to the profound. Bare certainly had ░▐ ▌░ plenty to think seriously about since his 2006 album The ░▐ ▌░ Longest Meow; he and his wife had a son before going through ░▐ ▌░ a contentious divorce, he fell in love again and fathered ░▐ ▌░ another child, and his mother had a peculiar brush with death ░▐ ▌░ alluded to in the title of A Storm, A Tree, My Mother's Head. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ But while this album feels weightier and more personal than ░▐ ▌░ most of Bare's previous work, that's not to say that he's ░▐ ▌░ left his mystic hillbilly wit on the sidelines for these ░▐ ▌░ sessions. Some of the darker moments of Bare's recent history ░▐ ▌░ inform this album, such as "One of Us Has Got to Go" and "But ░▐ ▌░ I Do" (two tales of seriously messed-up relationships he ░▐ ▌░ co-wrote with his father Bobby Bare Sr.), "Sad Smile" (which ░▐ ▌░ begins with the lines "Last night I got busted/ For acting ░▐ ▌░ just like myself"), and the title song, which features the ░▐ ▌░ sound of Bare's mom screaming deep in the mix. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ But not all the darker currents on this album are obviously ░▐ ▌░ autobiographical; there's the guy thinking about violating a ░▐ ▌░ court order so he can hang out with his girlfriend on "Don't ░▐ ▌░ Go to Chattanooga" or the young and luckless military ░▐ ▌░ recruits in "Swollen But Not the Same." And Bare does toss ░▐ ▌░ some truly engaging surrealism into the mix, most notably the ░▐ ▌░ fake celebrity roll call of "Rock and Roll Halloween" and the ░▐ ▌░ unique weaponry of "Liz Taylor's Lipstick Gun." ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ A Storm, A Tree, My Mother's Head captures Bare on a strong ░▐ ▌░ streak as a songwriter, and while the performances are ░▐ ▌░ engagingly loose, the band - anchored by Tom Blankenship, ░▐ ▌░ Carl Broemel, and Patrick Hallahan of My Morning Jacket - ░▐ ▌░ shows some welcome signs of precision on these recordings ░▐ ▌░ that give the tunes the body and force they deserve. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ No one should have to lose their marriage or have their ░▐ ▌░ mother break some vertebrae to make a great album, but if ░▐ ▌░ nothing else, Bare had been able to turn some tough times ░▐ ▌░ into some of his strongest work to date, though hopefully the ░▐ ▌░ next album will come a bit easer for him. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post rock ░▐ ▌░ kraut . post punk . darkwave . alternative . lo-fi ░▐ ▌░ country . americana . folk . folk/rock . progressive rock ░▐ ▌░ psychedelic rock . stoner . doom . sludge . desert . fuzz ░▐ ▌░ grunge . metal . heavy metal . hair metal . hard rock ░▐ ▌░ drone . aor . classic rock . southern rock . west coast ░▐ ▌░ hardcore . punk rock . garage . library . soundtrack ░▐ ▌░ avantgarde . classical . electronic . ambient . new wave ░▐ ▌░ synthpop . leftfield . experimental ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://www.deezer.com/us/album/1052957
