Bobby Bare In the fifties after many failed attempts to sell his songs, Bobby Bare finally was signed to Capitol Records and recorded a few rock and roll songs without much chart success. Just before he was drafted into the Army, he wrote a song called “The All American Boy” and did a demo for his friend, Bill Parsons, to learn and record it. Instead of using the version Bill Parsons did later, the record company, Fraternity Records, decided to use the original demo done by Bobby Bare. The record reached number 2 on the Billboard Top 100, but it was wrongly credited to Bill Parsons. His real big break came when RCA boss and guitarist Chet Atkins signed him to the RCA label. Bobby Bare also is the first to be given full control of his work and thus the very first Outlaw. In addition, Bobby Bare is credited for introducing Waylon Jennings to RCA. He is also one of the first to record from many well-known songwriters such as Jack Clement, Harlan Howard, Billy Joe Shaver, Mickey Newbury, Tom T. Hall, Kris Kristofferson, and many others. Recently, he has recorded a new album after over 20 years called The Moon Was Blue, available from Dualtone Records which was produced by his son, Bobby Bare, Jr. "Are You Sincere?" from The Moon Was Blue was promoted to Americana radio, and is featured on the Shut Eye release, The United State of Americana, Volume Four.
