rave for bobbie Jan 21, 2008 this amazing and brilliant album convincingly demonstrates the deep talent and stylistic and vocal range of a very underated artist. there is so much more to her than "Ode to Billy Jo". albeit that song is certainly a pop masterpiece.i listened to this record again and again and never grew tired of it.indeed it kept on feeding me with its nutrient rich visuals and poetic mysteries.not only that but it inspired me with alternative perspectives from the rural south so refreshing in this day of corporate farms and pre-packaged lifestyles.it is Faulkererian in its complexity and insight into human nature and its relatinship to the natural world.again i highly reccomend this brilliant album.

Wonderful writer and singer Nov 09, 2007 What I noticed about Ode to Billie Joe back in 1967, was how hauntingly rich and mature this song and writing was. What an amazing talent in such a young person. She was only about 25 at the time. Britany Spears should take note.
Such social conscientiousness in her songs repeatedly mentioning the Indian tribes from down in Mississippi such as the Choctow and Chickasaw.
And the characters of her songs were from so-called poor backgrounds but their lives were not poor. Bugs and even crawdads are given special attention in her writing. She noticed everything around her and wrote about all of it.
We are all lucky to have been exposed to such a deep thinker and talent and she dropped out way too soon!!!
happy with the Bobbie Gentry cd Sep 13, 2007
after listening to amy winehouse cd was wanting to listen to more of
the real error of this kind of music .
Excellent Jun 22, 2007 I was not too familiar with Bobbie, other than her major hits. But I thoroughly enjoy this album. It is really soulful and mellow - good background music during dinner or good for laying on the couch and just listening to every word.
