Review by Noelle Mena

Where Did The Summer Go: A Forgotten Country Gem from Bobbi Staff Released back in 1965, Where Did The Summer Go by Bobbi Staff is one of those albums that feels like a warm hug from another time. It’s got this mix of pop, folk, and country vibes, but it leans heavy into that classic country style we don’t hear much anymore. Produced by the legendary Chet Atkins (yep, the Chet Atkins), it’s no surprise the record has a polished yet heartfelt sound. Released under RCA Victor, this little slice of American music history deserves a second look—or listen, I should say. Now, let’s talk tracks. First up, there’s “I’m Available (Just For You).” This song sticks with me because it’s so dang sincere. You can almost picture Bobbi singing it with a slight smile, maybe even tipping her hat to the crowd. The lyrics are simple but earnest—kinda like when someone leaves you a sweet note on a Post-it. It’s not flashy or overdone; it just feels real. Plus, the guitar work? Super smooth. Chet Atkins clearly had his fingerprints all over this one. Then there’s the title track, “Where Did The Summer Go.” Man, this one hits different. It’s nostalgic without being sappy, like flipping through an old photo album and realizing how fast time flies. The melody lingers in your head long after the song ends. It’s not just about summer slipping away—it’s about life moving too quick for any of us to catch our breath. If you’re someone who loves songs that make you pause and think, this one’s for you. What makes this album special isn’t just its genre-blending charm or Chet Atkins’ golden touch as producer. It’s the way Bobbi Staff delivers these tunes with a voice that feels both familiar and comforting, like she’s sitting right across from you at a kitchen table, sharing stories over coffee. Reflecting on Where Did The Summer Go, it strikes me how music like this doesn’t always get the attention it deserves today. In a world full of auto-tune and electronic beats, albums like this remind us where it all started. And honestly? Listening to it felt like finding a dusty vinyl at a yard sale—you know, the kind that makes you go, “Wow, how’d this end up here?” Maybe that’s what Bobbi Staff’s music is: a hidden treasure waiting for the right ears to find it again. Oh, and here’s a random thought—I bet if they remade this album now, some indie artist would turn it into a viral TikTok trend. Wouldn’t that be wild?
