BOBBIE GENTRY
BBC Sessions Vol 2 1968-1970 [albumsthatshouldexist, 1CD]
Unknown dates and venues. Very good soundboard. Public domain.

Here’s the second of three albums of Bobbie Gentry at the BBC. As I said previously, there’s been an official BBC album released for her, but I’ve managed to find a lot of material not included on that, making this three albums instead of one.
On this album, 10 out of the 19 songs remain officially unreleased. Most of those are from other TV show appearances, but a couple are from BBC shows that didn’t get included on the official release for some reason, maybe because they were duets. In fact, speaking of duets, she does a bunch of those here, singing songs with Bing Crosby (twice), James Taylor, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, and John Hartford and Roy Clark. I presume there are more with Campbell that I didn’t find, since the two of them did a whole duets album together during this time period.
As with the other albums in this series, some of the songs here haven’t been officially released by her in any form. Many of those are the duets, like “Put a Little Love in Your Heart,” “Something’s Wrong,” and “Shady Grove.”

Please Do Not Hammer The Links. Due to the size of some of the files, please be very patient when downloading the tracks. It could be that the server was very busy. The tracks should still be around. Please try again later.
