Hit: 5 Stars
The Golden Classics of Bobbie Gentry is an excellent album of some of the best from Bobbie Gentry, an underrated singer and performer who deserves so much more recognition than she gets. This album has many of her fine tunes and the sound quality is wonderful. The artwork is also very nicely done.
"Mississippi Delta" starts the CD off with Bobbie singing so very well--and she never misses a beat, either! Bobbie's voice is rich, slightly deep and very vibrant; this enhances her performance even more and the musical arrangement makes great use of the percussion as Bobbie sings this one out loud and clear! "Chickasaw County Child" was a huge hit for Bobbie Gentry; I love the strings and Bobbie never sounded better--I love it! The melody works wonders for this ballad and Bobbie's excellent diction bolsters her singing very nicely. In addition, "Sunday Best" is quite a strong number that features Bobbie squarely in the spotlight--right where she belongs! Bobbie sings this with feeling and the strings are once again used very nicely in the melody.
"Papa Won't You Let Me Go To Town With You" has a strong country beat with some brass that enhances this melody; Bobbie sings this with great sensitivity and I'm quite impressed. The musical interlude is brief but very lush and I think "Papa Won't You Let Me Go To Town With You" is a major highlight of this album.
"Hurry Tuesday Child" has beautiful music to accompany Bobbie as she sings this to perfection--and beyond! Of course, there's also the incredibly famous Bobbie Gentry hit entitled "Ode To Billie Joe." "Ode To Billie Joe" is hauntingly beautiful and the story it tells is quite memorable as well. "Ode To Billie Joe" is easily my personal favorite song on this CD. "He Made A Woman Out Of Me" has a country flavor that seems mixed with a dash of soft pop rock from the `70s era; and this all works very well for this ballad. The backup female singers harmonize very well as they bolster Bobbie Gentry's delivery of this tune.
"Apartment 21" is a new song to me; but I almost instantly liked it and I think that you will, too. Bobbie Gentry delivers this with panache and her ability to handle tempo and key changes proves that she's a champ! "All I Have To Do Is Dream" is a wonderful cover of this song with a fine male backup chorus; and the CD ends nicely with Bobbie Gentry performing "Mornin' Glory." "Mornin' Glory" is a duet that you're bound to like.
Fans of Bobbie Gentry will love this album and this is also a great starter CD for newcomers to Bobbie Gentry's artistry.
Thank you, Bobbie!

Bobbie Gentry was the first country singer to win the Best New Artist Grammy Award. She won two more 1967 awards for her huge hit "Ode to Billie Joe." The mystery still remains. Why did Billie Joe McCallister jump off the Tallahatchie bridge? Listen to this fine collection of Gentry's greatest and try to figure it out.Country Music CDs
