- Here's Bobby Bare singing John Denver's "Some days are diamonds" on an early 80's tv show. I've always been a huge fan of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Although I already knew Bare, only recently I began to appreciate deeper his artistic skills.
i stumbled across the down and dirty album and it's some of the best country music i've ever heard. hard to stop listening to. such true, pure, heartbreaking music just isn't available these days. bobby bare is second-to-none.
10 yrs later and here we are … totally the best ❤️
Buckeye Bare is one of the best ever. He does the best covers, especially Detroit City. That was my favorite John Denver song.
Thank you !! Bobby is one of the greatest.
He has something in his voice that can break your heart - like when he says "Now when you ask how I'm doing here without you" you know that's what the song is all about.
Absolutely a true country song, can't compare old stuff to new "country" music that they have today. Not too many oldies left, country music is very sadly dying, well, I'm going to see Bobby in St. Cloud, MN in a little! ~*TRUE COUNTRY LEGENDS WILL NEVER DIE*~
Bobby Bare is definitely a treasure. Great voice, great singer. Does funny and sentimental equally well.
Bobby Bare is a talented entertainer! He is still terrific in concert!
yes, he,s diamond is bobby, what a feel to his songs
Bobby Bare is the man.
This song I just want to play for a little boys dog... a friend that came to him when he had know one else... even as a grown man, never has the dog been forgotten... when the dog died, the world lost all reason... and a boy lost a hero.
Little brown and white springer spaniel... some things remain of you in a man that still remains.
Good boy... asleep by my fire... good boy.

I love this song! The way he sings it is perfect in his melancholic way...
One of the best Bare have done!
All of respekt to John Denver!

Thanks for posting- Bobby Bare version so laid back and professional.
@1787dude I agree. Bobby is one of the greatest male singers in country music! Should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame!
Love it. Damn good band backing him.
I love this song, especially the lyrics. I did not know Bobby did this song.
Love this and what a voice!!
Such a gentle voice what a lovely county singer
I love to hear Bobby Bare sing.
These songs are so beautiful they give me goose bumps.
youtubing and seen this ...Brought back memories of a day gone by....Bobby is a talent that isn't given the credit he so richly deserves!!Love the Bare!!
A great artist ❤
Absolutely brilliant, love it.
I was always his fan since the time he sung on concerts with Jim Reeves. But he and legendary Shel Silverstein is an era in country music. And imho the best era.
Absolutely great!
This song brings back so many happy memories from playing fiddle in Germany in the '80s in a couple of bands--one to back up Nashville artists such as Johnny Russell, Stella Parton and Dave Dudley on USO tours of Germany and another band doing regular shows for American service people in dinner and dance clubs at our U.S. bases over there." Some Days Are Diamonds" is such a great song in its own right, but in playing fiddle on that song, I always got the feeling that it was really serving an extra patriotic function in that it gave our military personnel a chance to "catch their breath," or "take stock of their situation," and then in a realistic frame of mind with an understandable mix of emotional feelings, look ahead with optimism to more happy times both on duty in Germany and later on, in going back home again. I guess the best way to put it would be to characterize it as "a soothing song" for the very reason that it is both realistic yet elevated with idealism and the dream of living life the right way.But as someone who also plays classical violin, I just think this beloved Bobby Bare song is one that Franz Schubert or Johannes Brahms would have been proud to have in their song repertoires! So it is really fantastic, after these lo 30-some years since we played over yonder, to see and hear the great Bobby Bare himself singing what has been one of my favorite country songs ever since I first found a fiddle line for it across the sea in Germany.
Outstanding talent
My favourite male country simger, Down and Dirty album classic country
Bare did a version of this on the 1980 album, "Down and Dirty" (essentially, a 'live' album, recorded in a studio with a live audience). The song was written by Dick Feller, who also wrote "East Bound and Down" (Jerry Reed, from the movie, "Smokey & the Bandit"). Why Bobby Bare isn't in the Country Music Hall of Fame yet is beyond any reasonable understanding!
I have that on tape and he did another in the same vein called Drunk and Crazy.
I remember the time with Bobby in Nuernberg/Germany and thanks for the Radio UNO Jingle "It's Country Time"
Love Bobby Bare
Thank You for a lifetime of songs
Just great - thank you so much for uploading.:)
Bobby Bare is a good ole boy!!!
Good job ! I like this very much.
Thank you bobby
Great lyrics!
Thanks for the clarification.
I've never heard Feller's version, only the Bare's one and Denver's one.
I prefer Bobby's version.
great music, great artist.
Klasse -ich liebe es!
Love it!!!!!!!
Where I grew up, you would never know that this song was first released by Dick Feller, or that it was later covered by John Denver. This is the only version you heard. I got no problem with that.
One of his songs I like the most!
Saw Bobby in Mo. Fantastic entertainer!
Was this song written by Dick Feller if I remember correctly?
This song must be a classic by now and I don't think it ever got much air time way back in the 80's. So who dosen't sparkle sometimes and then there's the rest?
nobody does it better
I love this song.
Beautiful
Oh my, so handsome and great singer. He and tom T Hall discovered Johnny Rodriguez.
smchinkie yup, and Bobby kind of dicovered Kris Kristofferson too by singing his songs
Nice rendition
gotta like this one...
great song! greetz harmusic
I Love this one. BTW Bobby Bare recorded a song "A Dear John Letter" with Skeeter Davis. Does anyone has a video of this song? appreciate if you post it here! many thanks

Bobby Bare recorded it long before John Denver did; therefore, it is not a John Denver song. Bobby learned it from the writer, Dick Feller, who made the original recording.
Why have his early songs like "Detroit City", and "500 Miles" been wiped off UA-cam? They were posted several times about a month or so ago, but everyone who posted them was cancelled.
nice guitar, is that a gibson L5?
I always thought " SOME DAYS ARE DIAMONDS SOME DAYS ARE COAL" is a better line than the original. I say that because diamonds and coal are both the same material, and as such is a more thought provoking, anyway the piece is classic bit of poetry.
Has any one got How the story Ends by Bobby Bare
wish I had too !
neil diamond u made this song but bobby bare perfected it
John Denver wrote it.
This one fits Bobby Bare perfectly. The best version. What a shame that there has never been a real studio version of this recorded. The quality of the "Down and Dirty" record unfortunately is quite the catastrophe with a bad mixing, almost no bass and even some accoustic feedback (right in this song here).
Sorry but I just had another change of hart. Some days are stone is the out front winner as the most meaningful counterbalance to the "Some days are diamonds" line. much more meaning is evoked as the piece is presented. I have to admit that I was mistaken when I made the previous comment. Sorry and long prosperous meaningful lives to you all.
Actually, "Some Days..." is a Dick Feller song. Feller recorded in 1975. Bare's version preceded John Denver's by a year or so.
one of my favorite songs by bobby bare
beautiful words
not sure where you're talking about,
verses:
G/D/Em/C/G/C/G/Em/A/D
chorus
G/C/G/Em/A/D/G/C/G/Em/C/G/Em/C/G/D/G
(maybe off here and there but this will be close enough to get you on the right track)
@cmlbob Amen to that.
at father he everywhere now
I've got it on a tape Country Love Songs I bought in a Charity shop but it split before on I could transfer it on to C D candw87
@dukemantee2 i never new that thanks
Denver’s version is the best, but Bear does it well too!
Bare did before Denver
@Quiethoof very nice and kinda sad, i have my best friend beside me now "boxer"
Bare really blinks a lot...
I can't bare it!
There are some songs that only Bobby Bare can sing.But This is John Denvers song.I have never heard anyone take John"s songs from him,But he can take most songs away from others!Bobby,I have really liked Bobby you for years,But like I say Bobby stay away from John"s Songs.Thank you!
+ginny05ad I love John Denver but i am afraid I disagree with you . Bobby Bare's version is much better. The music and the voice is so smooth and relaxing.
one has a favorite.I love Bobby Bare also just different songs!Glad to see that there are people like us who will keep their music Here to listen to! GOD BLESS YOU!
+ginny05ad God bless you too. Thanks for your kind words
Some Days are Diamonds is actually written by Dick Feller and released on his Some Days Are Diamonds album in 1975 {it did not chart well} Then John Denver perfected it on his 1981 album by the same name. I like Bobby Bare's version as well. JD is my main man- yet Bobby Bare is great too
This song means a lot to me me and my brother came acrosd this version when we were having a beer in my mother's house i ALWAYS think of him when i hear it this song was made for him BRILLANT
I have always enjoyed Bobby Bare. I have always been a fan. But my god...he butchered this song. This is not a song for him at all.
