Keeping it Gentry...
This is an outstanding Bobbie Gentry tribute released a few years ago by..... Mercury Rev?
Yes - Mercury Rev.
Guest female vocalists on every song. They're all up to the task. A really beautiful record. It flew under the radar. Highly recommended.

Alabaster DePlume - To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals Vol. 1 (International Anthem Recording Company/Total Refreshment Centre, 2020 Limited Pressing)
I will never get over how beautiful the music on this album is. A great concept and story behind its conception as well.

This is the album that knocked The Beatles 'Sgt. Pepper' LP out of the #1 spot on the US charts in 1967.
If you knew that, I'll buy you a beer the next time I see you.
Bobbie was no poser. Check out the finger picking.

Medeski Martin & Wood - Uninvisible (Blue Note, 2021 Vinyl Me Please Exclusive Pressing)
A great example of modern jazz that incorporates different elements. I was completely unfamiliar with this group until this was announced so im glad that I took the leap. Still not sure about The Dropper though.
