Bobbie Gentry remains one of the most interesting and underappreciated artists to emerge out of Nashville during the late '60s. Best-known for her crossover smash "Ode to Billie Joe," she was one of the first female country artists to write and produce much of her own material, forging an idiosyncratic, pop-inspired sound that, in tandem with her glamorous, bombshell image, anticipated the rise of latter-day superstars like Shania Twain and Faith Hill. She shot to international fame in the summer of 1967 with the quirky "Ode to Billie Joe", written by Gentry and sung in her warm, captivating style. Ode was listed as the most popular single of the year in many U.S. record surveys and was admired by Frank Sinatra and other singers. "The Delta Sweete" is her second album.
