	Soul Shower
		Bobbie Gentry is one of my favorite "country" artists (she fused so many other styles into her albums that simply calling her country seems faulty).
		Bobbie Gentry is the hottest woman in country to me--past, present, or future.
		Bobbie's album Touch 'Em With Love came out the same year as Dusty In Memphis, and even though Dusty has the most famous version, I'd like to make a case for Bobbie Gentry having the funkier, and dare I say better version.

		Bobbie Gentry should be better well known for her other material than her massive hit "Ode to Billie Joe," and this newly released compilation points the way.
		Of course Gentry is always be forever associated with "Ode to Bille Joe," a gritty story song of love and suicide in the rural South, with the plucking of the guitar string juxtaposed an orchestral-like arrangement, a sound later replicated in a couple of other songs on this best-of.
		In hindsight Gentry was one of a kind-a more soulful, smoky-voiced singer than her contemporaries, and she wrote all her songs.
