- Description:
- CAPITOL YEARS: ODE TO BOBBIE GENTRY features 21 favorites from charismatic pop singer Bobbie Gentry.
Among the most undefinable performers ever to be marketed as "country," Bobbie Gentry possessed extraordinary talents as a husky-voiced singer, pioneering female producer, and songwriter that landed her at the top of the pop charts in 1967 with "Ode to Billie Joe." While she achieved lasting fame due to that fictional incident on the Tallahatchie Bridge, Gentry`s string of albums for Capitol in the late `60s and early `70s reveal a deeper, more album-oriented artist. THE CAPITOL YEARS-ODE TO BOBBIE culls hits and highlights from these albums and represents some of the best of her enigmatic fusion of Southern soul, classic American pop, and countrypolitan. "Mississippi Delta," the gritty lead-off track, mines the same Southern Gothic territory as "Ode to Billie Joe," while the minor chart hit "Fancy" reveals a flair for contemporary `70s pop. More stunning still are the two tracks from her highly underrated arty roots-psych opus THE DELTA SWEETE, "Big Boss Man" and "Reunion." While Gentry`s first two albums remain essential listening for fans looking for more, THE CAPITOL YEARS-ODE TO BOBBIE is a fantastic collection for neophytes or enthusiasts wanting all the best in one place.
