Bobby Bare Jr. – The Longest Meow (CD)
Product Details
The son of country legend Bobby Bare, Bobby Bare Jr. spent years quietly building a reputation in Nashville's underground as one of the more genuinely idiosyncratic voices in American rock, owing as much to Elliott Smith and Alex Chilton as to anything on Music Row. By 2006, Bloodshot Records had become the ideal home for his brand of lovesick, slightly unhinged songwriting, the Chicago label having made its name championing artists too weird for Nashville and too roots-minded for indie rock.
Disarmingly charming and foolishly romantic, THE LONGEST MEOW lays Bobby Bare's willingness to do anything to get a girl, even if we all know it'll somehow end badly. Co-written with members of My Morning Jacket, and feature members of... And You Will Know US By the Trail of the Dead, Clem Snide and Lambchop, THE LONGEST MEOW ranges from psychedelic melancholy to pulsing T. Rex glam boogie and down-and-dirty southern rock, Bobby fearlessly wears his heart on his stained and sweaty shirtsleeve.
