Talk Me Some Sense RCA LSP 3515

Bobby Bare has never been a singer who played hide-'n'-seek with reality. His songs are about life as it really is. About crossroads and decisions. About disappointments and failures. And loving and losing.   Because Bobby sings raw truths, an album like TALK ME SOME SENSE is a compellingcollection of songs. Like a window on the world - sometimes like a mirror on our own lives.   Passin' Through, Bobby's opener in this album is a story which begins at the very beginning of each of us: "The first sound I heard was a woman's cry/The fist word I uttered was goodbye." In The Long Black Veil, a man - a convict - looks upward, noting that the scaffold is high and eternity is near, while a woman in the crowd gathered for the execution - his woman - shed not a tear. And in Salt Lake City, a saddened fellow pauses in his running away from disillusionment to remind himself, 'I gotta find work/Forget that hurt."   These are combined with other, and different, glimpses of what life is all about... What Color (is a Man); It Ain't Me Babe; Talk Me Some Sense; All The Good Times Are Past and Gone, and still more.   If you are willing to view life's stark realities, then Bobby Bare is the singer whose songs are guaranteed to make you stop in your tracks and take a revealing second look around you. Beyond being a great entertainer, Bobby possesses the power to make us see things as they really are.
