The Moon Was Blue

Cream, Schream: The Moon Was Blue is the comeback event of 2005. Coaxed out of retirement by his son Bobby Jr., the erstwhile country hitmaker is releasing his first record in 22 years, and it’s the work of a crafty master. Retooling old chestnuts like ”Everybody’s Talkin”’ and ”Shine On, Harvest Moon,” Bare pours out just enough regret and world-weariness without lapsing into melodrama.
