Bobbie Gentry - The Very Best Of (2005)

Bobbie Gentry did not record many albums but several compilations have been released. Because Bobbie only had a few big hits that have to be included, the remainder of each compilation often differs significantly. This UK compilation includes plenty of cover versions, some of which were duets with Glen Campbell. Of course, this compilation includes 'Ode to Billie Joe' & 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again' (a British number one hit). The covers include 'Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head' (B J Thomas), four Beatles classics, 'Son of a Preacher Man' (Dusty Springfield), 'You've Made Me So Very Happy' (Blood Sweat & Tears), 'In the Ghetto' (Elvis Presley) and two Everly Brothers covers, which account for half of the Glen Campbell duets. 20 tracks in all. EMI. 2005.
