Shows I'll Never Foget
At Gobbler Theater, Johnson Creek, Wisconsin: Bobby Bare started his set with his best known song, “Detroit City.” In fact, Bare began with the song’s chorus because, he said, “The chorus is what people like best about that song.” This urban portrait was followed by “The Green, Green Grass of Home,” a mournful hit for Bare in 1965. After singing a clever number that cast doubt about whether some conflicts could have a “Winner,” Bare returned to the city for “My Baby Walks the Streets of Baltimore.”
