Bobbie Gentry
Comment:
By the time Bobbie Gentry stepped away from public life in the late '70s, she'd recorded a wealth of material that redefined country crossover stardom and marked the Mississippi-born beauty as a one-of-a-kind musical artist. With a voice that could shift from sweet to sultry, gorgeous to gritty, and a talent for writing musical portraits of people and places overlooked by the mainstream, Gentry told tales from her country childhood, bestowing intimacy and authenticity to tunes like "Chickasaw County Child" and the "Okolona River Bottom Band" while still leaving room for widespread pop appeal. Our [i]Bobbie Gentry[/i] Essentials brings together the best of Gentry's gems, from the smooth-as-silk duet "Let It Be Me," with country counterpart Glen Campbell, to the sleepy-voiced love song "Mornin' Glory" to the high-gloss, lowlife story-song "Apartment 21."
