Bare Jr. Recruits Friends for Wall of Sound

Nashville is already the home of country music, but if Bobby Bare Jr. has his way, it'll be a city with a reputation for fast recordings, too.

Due out Sept. 26, Bare Jr.'s third solo album, 'The Longest Meow,' was recorded in less than a day.

"My original plan was, I wanted to do an album in one shot, between noon and one o'clock," the country artist tells AOL Music. "That was just unrealistic. But I wanted something like the Wall of Sound, something like what they used to do at Motown. I really wanted to try and see what it sounded like, a room full of musicians."

And what a cast it was. Bare Jr. recruited friends from Lambchop, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Clem Snide and the always charming My Morning Jacket.

" [MMJ's] Carl [Broemel] and Patrick [Hallahan] are old friends," Bare Jr. says. "I was co-writing some with Carl, and Patrick really wanted to play anything -- drums anywhere, for any reason -- so I had him come down."

The one track that didn't make the session was Bare Jr.'s cover of the Pixies classic 'Where Is My Mind.' Having toured with Frank Black, did the singer solicit any insight into the song?

"I have no idea what it means," he laughs. "I'm almost 100 percent certain that he doesn't either. I'd bet a million dollars."
