1998 Debut Album Unleashed on Vinyl for the First Time!
Double LP Includes Custom Gauge Live EP + Early Demos!
"We are southern, we are rock, but we aren't Southern Rock" – Bobby Bare, Jr.
Boo-Tay is the first full album featuring the son of country music great Bobby Bare and was originally released in September of 1998 on the now defunct alt./punk/metal label Immortal Records.
Unleashing a southern fried cowpunk garage rock sound with electric dulcimer, Bare Jr. is "the best y'alternative band you never heard of'' according to bassist Dean Tomasek. The band consisted of Bobby Bare, Jr. on lead vocals and guitar, Tomasek on bass, Keith Brogdon on drums, Tracy Hackney on dulcimer and harmonica, along with Nashville independent record store's own Michael "Grimey" Grimes on lead guitar.
This 2-LP includes the original Peter Collins produced album along with the promotional Live "Custom Gauge Electric EP," and early demos as Bobby Joe and the Metros.
The songs on Boo-Tay don't just pour out of your stereo speakers, they reach out and grab you by the ears, Bare Jr. kicking out the jams with a vigor that surely had Hank Williams spinning in his grave. One of the more auspicious debut albums of the late '90s, Bare Jr. the band delivered a swift kick to the backside of alternative country and country-rock poseurs alike with Boo-Tay.
