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.

🔥Really enjoying streaming these both today with lunch. Cheers🔥
 
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.

There is a nice mention of Bobbie in the Ken Burns PBS Country Music Series Episode 5 as well. Along with Jeannie C. Reilly and others.
 
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.
