Bare returned to RCA Victor in 1973 and the label released six studio discs through 1977. Among them was 1973's Bobby Bare Sings Lullaby's, Legends and Lies. The disc was his most successful album to chart the Top Country Albums list, climbing to the number five position. Between 1978 and 1983, he recorded seven studio albums with Columbia Records. This included 1980's Down and Dirty, which became Bare's first LP to chart in Canada, climbing to number four on their RPM Country Albums chart. His 1982 album, Ain't Got Nothin' to Lose, was his final charting album as a solo artist. Bare has since continued to record sporadically.
