Bobby Bare's long career started with rock and roll releases in the 1950s. He had a notable snafu with his first self-penned hit, "The All American Boy." Bare made a demo for Bill Parsons to teach him the song, Capitol Records pressed up Bare's demo instead of Parson's take, but credited the record to Parsons. The incorrectly credited song went to #2 in the U.S.A. and #22 on the British charts, and still shows up as a hit for Bill Parsons.
In the 1960's, Bare moved from rock n' roll to straight country, and had a string of hits, including some that crossed over to the pop charts. These pop cross-overs led to Bare's inclusion in Dave Marsh's 1989 book, The Heart of Rock and Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made. Marsh listed two entries by Bobby Bare, both from 1963: "Detroit City" at #337 and "500 Miles Away From Home" at #901.
While it wasn't included in Marsh's list, Bare had another hit in 1966 that's become a
standard. Bare recorded the original hit version of "Streets of Baltimore," a song written by Tompall Glaser and Harlan Howard in 1966. While there were many cover versions,
an early 1970's cover by Gram Parsons is a definitive version, and was recently topically featured on the HBO series The Wire, as the show is set in Baltimore.
In the mid to late 70's, Bare had a series of humorous novelty hits, including "Numbers," "The Winner," and the sublimely ridiculous "Dropkick Me, Jesus." (Note: The word "tempestion" appears to have been entirely made up just for this for this song.)
This syndicated show was produced by the Clayton Webster Corp. of St. Louis, Missouri. Incorporated in January of 1978, the Clayton Webster Corp. also produced the "Retro Rock" show, syndicated from 1981 to 1984. The "outro" to the show says that the Live From The Lone Star Cafe show was carried on "more than 200 American radio stations...every week," which gives us an approximate number of copies pressed. The numbering sequence on the shows included a three letter code of "LSC" followed by a year and and an ascending show number: LSC-7901, LSC-7902, LSC-7903, etc. I've seen copies of Live From The Lone Star Cafe series with numbering indicating the show ran from 1979 to 1981. It looks like Clayton Webster got out of syndication of live concerts by the mid-80s.
Flac files of wavs, and I've included a scan of the disc label.
