Includes a new essay by Dave Samuelson about Shel Silverstein and his multi-faceted work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo artist recorded more Silverstein songs than veteran country singer Bobby Bare. His 1972 cover of Silverstein's bittersweet Sylvia's Mother launched a professional relationship that led to an enduring friendship. At Bare's request, Silverstein conceived and composed entire concept albums, starting with 'Lullabys, Legends And Lies,' an exercise in pure imagination from 1974. This two-LP set established Bare as a major album artist and yielded Marie Laveau, the first chart-topping single of the singer's long recording career. A follow-up album, 'Hard Time Hungrys,' captured the downbeat mood of American workers during the mid- '70s recession. A perceptive 'Billboard' reviewer hailed 'Hard Time Hungrys' as \"something historians will look back upon.\" Bare's family participated in the whimsical 'Singin' In The Kitchen,' which included the tender Daddy What If. During the late '70s, Silverstein shifted his creative focus to playwriting and children's books, but he continued crafting clever songs specifically for Bare. When Bare wound down his major-label recording career in the mid-'80s, the singer had recorded more than 100 Silverstein originals, fifteen of them on the notorious 'Great American Saturday Night.' Recorded in 1977, that album was shelved when Bare left RCA for a more lucrative contract with Columbia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite their lyrical and historical importance, the Bare\/Silverstein collaborations have been sporadically and haphazardly reissued during the compact disc era. In response, Bear Family produced 'Bobby Bare Sings Shel Silverstein, Plus,' the first comprehensive collection of this material. Six albums appear complete, including integral songs by other writers. The long-unheard 'Great American Saturday Night' includes three songs missing from a recent independent label release. The box set contains an LP-sized, lavishly illustrated 128-page hardcover book that contains song lyrics and a discography. In a conversation with Hank Davis, Bare recalls his years working with Silverstein, and Dave Samuelson documents the songwriter's multiple creative pursuits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bear Family","offers":[{"title":"CD | x8","offer_id":50453433221451,"sku":"1102727","price":149.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/46165dd5-720e-47ab-b2cd-8c25cd17db59_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727171962"},{"product_id":"drunk-crazy-as-is-ain-t-got-nothin-to-lose-drinkin-from-the-bottle","title":"Drunk \u0026 Crazy \/ As Is \/ Ain't Got Nothin' To Lose \/ Drinkin' From the Bottle","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour Bobby Bare albums from 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983.
