I like a lot of that sappy, pop-glopped production, myself, but I'm not
going to argue the point; de gustibus, etc. I will, however, point out to
Terry that he managed to get hold of the wrong Bare compilation for his
taste; the Essential Bobby Bare, on RCA, unlike the R&T comp., includes 5
cuts from Bare's second tenure at RCA, when the production was a little more
stripped-down, as well as a number of duplicates from the R&T (yeah, I've
got 'em both). One of those 5 cuts is, of course, "Daddy What If," so you
get a little Bare Jr., too <g>. And, of course, there's the new Koch
compilation, Bare Tracks, which is material from his Columbia years, with
production values that are probably a little closer to what you like, Terry.
