Mike Bennett writesFriday iPod MP3 Shuffle—Happy Birthday Bobbie Gentry Edition
Bobbie Gentry will always be known for “Ode To Billie Joe”, one of the great country pop songs of the ’60s. It still sounds so original today. But Gentry’s unique approach to country, which blended pop and even some R & B, was, for the most part, not commercially viable, but for her later smash, “Fancy”. Accordingly, her career was too short, even though she was a prototype for future genre defying country singers such as Roseanne Cash and Shelby Lynne. This is too bad, as Gentry’s music had a sophistication which has caused it to age very well. Please join me in paying tribute to Ms. Gentry by grabbing your iPod or MP3 player, hitting shuffle, and sharing the first 10 songs that come up.
