“The lyrics of ‘Great American Saturday Night’ chronicle a wild Saturday night out on the town — and waking up the next morning. The day is gray and the hangover is real, ‘but Saturday is only six days away!’ Bare sings” – Angela Stefano, The Boot
“Bobby Bare’s new Great American Saturday Night album will include a rebel-rouser that’s perhaps even more relevant today than it was when he first recorded it” – Billy Dukes, Taste of Country
Rolling Stone says of the lead single “Living Legend”: “Bare’s weather-beaten narrator wrings every ounce of vintage honky-tonk pathos from the tune without a hint of self-pity or resentment.” – Stephen L. Betts
