Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe (Capitol Records ‎– ST-2830, 1967) Bobbie Gentry's first release came into my possession yesterday. It appears to be a first press, but I don't know because it's SEALED! What a terrific album by a wonderful vocalist who retired from performing in the late 70s. . . . . . . . . #vinylaficionado #music #record #records #recordcollection #recordcollector #recordcollecting #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcollection #vinyloftheday #coverart #vinylcollector #vinylcommunity #albumcover #albumcoverart #instavinyl #cratedigger #hifi #nowspinning #photography #followme #33rpm #country #countryfunk #bobbiegentry #1967 #odetobilliejoe #countrymusic

SHE’S SO UNUSUAL, no. 19. Bobbie Gentry, Ode to Billie Joe. That title song is one of my favorites (even if Dylan did mock it with “Clothes Line Saga,” which I also love). And it sounds great. Rest of this album doesn’t sound great—it’s like it was mastered or recorded differently and it’s mushy and different instruments come storming out of the murk. But I guess it was recorded off her demos in a rush when “Ode to Billie Joe” blew up and, it’s enjoyable enough, I suppose, if you can ignore the low-fi recording. The first track, “Mississippi Delta” has an old phrase in it my grandfather used to tease babies with: “On-ery Or-y Ick-ery Ann, Fillison Follison Snickless John, Queevy Quavy [and here it differs—my grandfather would say] English Navy, Stinkum, Stankum, Buck!” and draw out the last syllable of Buck as he tickled you. Her song goes some other way that I can’t remember right this second. Anyway. Very Delta-folk-swampy-bluesy-Weird-Old-America-y. I just wish they’d taken a couple more days and recorded it better. #bobbiegentry #odetobilliejoe (at Noblesville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIHixlkgwB7/?igshid=1ol49hv32ysuf
