She was the first woman to host a variety show on the BBC and the first woman inducted into the Mississippi Hall of Fame.

The UK release is particularly exciting because Bobbie Gentry had a HUGE\u00a0following abroad. In fact, she was arguably more popular in the UK than in the States, where her debut album was in such high demand that Capitol Records pre-ordered five times the previous preorder record--which was Meet the Beatles, in 1964. Her UK popularity is due in part to the general interest in American country music there--something I find really fascinating--and also that Bobbie hosted her own show \u00a0on the BBC from 1968 to 1971. She stayed in London for six weeks at a time for several years.\u00a0\\n Im particularly jazzed about this piece written by Audrey White published today in The Quietus, which explores Bobbie Gentrys role as a\u00a0pioneer in the ongoing story of feminism in American country music.\u00a0\n\\n From\u00a0The Quietus:\n\\n...,blurb:\nOde to Billie Joe was officially released in the UK this week!\u00a0\n Here is the link to the Amazon UK page... but please do let me know if you see it out and about in the\u00a0UK wild.

We hear a cascade of fingerpicked chords lifted by the swells and sighs of strings, and then a sultry, smoky voice steeped in the dark sweet tea of the South begins: em>“It was a third of June, another sleepy dusty Delta day. I was out choppin cotton and my brother was balin hay.”/em> As she gets closer to revealing the bad news, Gentrys voice tightens like a snake on a tree branch as she delivers the famous line: em>“Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.”/em>/em>/p>p> /p>p>em>em>***/em>/em>/p>p> /p>p>em>Though she hasnt performed in more than three decades, fans find it impossible to forget Bobbie Gentry—a beautiful, soulful singer with chiseled cheekbones, thick slashes of black eyeliner and a stage presence and dance moves that made one writer describe her as having a body which moves like an insolent, urgent, hungry panther./em>/p>p> /p>p>em>Not bad for a multi-instrumentalist who always considered herself, at heart, a writer./em>/p>p> /p>p>em>As one of the first women to write, perform and produce her own material, Gentry broke both creative and business barriers. Gentry was a total unknown when she created an album so popular that Capitol Records pre-ordered the largest number of units in its history--five times more than the record set in 1964 with em>Meet the Beatles/em>. She was the first woman to host a variety show on the BBC and the first woman inducted into the Mississippi Hall of Fame. Her song lyrics, Southern Gothic at its finest, are most often compared to William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams. She ran her own production companies, personally signing every paycheck every week./em>/p>p> /p>p>em>After leaving the record industry in the early 1970s, Gentry focused on her award-winning stage shows in Vegas, where she did everything from leading the band to designing the costumes. She was known for mounting the most elaborate shows with the most feverish pace--and of course for her legendary tribute to Elvis, where the Delta Queen emulated the King so well that Presley urged his own audience to go see Bobbies show. She broke showroom attendance records while, behind the scenes, she negotiated her own contracts, including the highest-paying contract in Vegas history at the time./em>/p>p> /p>p>em>And then, after more than a decade as one of the biggest names in show business, the stage went black. Now, Bobbie Gentry has not appeared or performed in public in more than three decades./em>/p>p> /p>p>em>But what fans cant forget, of course, is the impossibly sexy swivel and glittering showgirlship of a performer who could make air boil with nothing more than a parlor Martin guitar and a voice low as the Mississippi moon./em>/p>p> /p>p>em>***/em>/p>p> /p>p>em>Almost fifty years after it was recorded, fans still wonder what it was that was thrown off the Tallahatchie Bridge in Ode to Billie Joe./em>/p>p> /p>p>em>Murtha set out to explore the real mystery buried within the songs mystery, and found the waters got murkier the deeper she dove. Just as fans believe that finding out what was thrown off the bridge will lead to knowing why Billie Joe jumped, Murtha argues that by piecing together the true story behind Ode to Billie Joe, we can finally begin to get a full view of the remarkable accomplishments Gentry made in her short career and begin to understand her long silence./em>/p>p> /p>p>em>Relying on original research including extensive interviews, never-before-seen footage of Gentrys Vegas performances and assorted memorabilia, Murtha traces the much-disputed origin Ode to Billie Joe while assembling a portrait of an artist ahead of her time./em>/p>p> /p>p>em>***/em>/p>p>em>em>Bobbie Gentry: Ode to Billie Joe/em> was published by Bloomsbury Academics critically/em>/p>p>em>acclaimed a hrefhttp://33third.blogspot.com/>33 1/3 Books series/a> December 18, 2014/em>/p>p> /p>p> /p>/div>p>em>a hrefhttp://333sound.com/what-is-a-thirty-three-and-a-third/>What is a 33 1/3? /a>/em>/p>p>em> /em>/p>p>em> /em>/p>p>em> /em>/p>p>em> /em>/p>p>em>em>Media inquiries: /em>/em>/p>p>em>em>murthatara@gmail.com/em>/em>/p>p>em>em>@taramurtha/em>/em>/p>p>em> /em>/p>p>em> /em>/p>p>em> /em>/p>/h4>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div> div classs-mh s-layout-normal s-repeatable>div classs-section-item-wrapper>div data-sorting-index0 class s-repeatable-item>div classclearfix>div>div classs-item-media-wrapper s-mhi >div classs-item-media-group>div classs-component s-media >div>div classs-component-content>div classs-video-content>div classs-component s-async-wrapper>div classs-loading>/div>div classwaypoint>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div> /div>/div>/div>/li>li classslide s-section-4 idsection-f_d87c3387-23a2-42d0-a744-ff09e2e392e4>div classwaypoint>/div>div classsection-anchor>/div>div> div classlazyload s-no-bg s-new-text-section s-section s-text-section background-image data-react-style{}>div classcontainer>div classclearfix>div classcolumns sixteen>/div>/div>div class> div classs-mh s-repeatable>div classs-section-item-wrapper>div data-sorting-index0 classsixteen columns no-float s-repeatable-item>div classs-mhi>div classs-item-text-group >div classs-item-title>div classs-component s-text>div class>div classs-component-content s-font-heading stylewhite-space:pre-wrap>h3>div styletext-align: center;>div>I <3 INDIE BOOKSTORES/div>div> /div>/div>/h3>/div>/div>/div>/div>div classs-item-text>div classs-component s-text>div class>div classs-component-content s-font-body stylewhite-space:pre-wrap>div>span stylefont-size: 160%;>Please use a hrefUse%20Indie%20Store%20Finder%C2%A0>Indie Store Finder/a> to locate a bookstore carrying em>Ode to Billie Joe/em>./span>/div>div>span stylefont-size: 160%;> /span>/div>div>span stylefont-size: 160%;>In the Philadelphia area, you can find signed copies at a hrefhttp://goldmillionrecords.com>Gold Million Records/a>, a hrefhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/MainStreetMusicPA/109854695706800>Main Street Music/a> and a hrefhttp://www.dannysguitarshop.com>Dannys Guitar Shop/a>. /span>/div>div> /div>div>span stylefont-size: 160%;>If youd like to order a signed copy or have me sign & send one to a friend, drop me a note at murthatara@gmail.com or tweet me at @taramurtha and Id be happy to oblige./span>/div>div>span stylefont-size: 160%;> /span>/div>div>span stylefont-size: 160%;>If you just want to talk about Bobbie Gentry, thats cool too./span>/div>div> /div>div>span stylefont-size: 160%;>If youd like to read some of my other longform journalism, I have some of that posted over at taramurtha.pressfolios.com. /span>/div>div> /div>div> /div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div> /div>/div>/div>/div>/li>li classslide s-section-5 idsection-f_d5083b50-0fb2-46db-a2c1-5de296cca7a8>div classwaypoint>/div>div classsection-anchor>/div>div classlazyload s-icons-section s-section s-new-mobile-layout background-image data-react-style{}>div classcontainer>div classcolumns sixteen>div classs-title-group >div classs-title sb-title-center-align has-fresh-line>div classs-component s-text>div class>div classs-component-content s-font-title stylewhite-space:pre-wrap>h2>div styletext-align: center;>div>CONNECT/div>div> /div>/div>/h2>/div>/div>/div>/div>div classs-subtitle>div classs-component s-text>div class>div classs-component-content s-font-heading stylewhite-space:pre-wrap>h4>em>div>TARAMURTHA.PRESSFOLIOS.COM/div>/em>/h4>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>/div>div class> div classs-mh s-repeatable>div classs-section-item-wrapper>div data-sorting-index0 classthird columns half-fixed no-float s-repeatable-item>div classs-item-media-group s-mhi>div classs-component s-image>div>div classs-component-content>div classs-img-wrapper>div classs-ratio-box stylemax-width:160px;max-height:160px>div classs-ratio-fill stylepadding-bottom:100.00%>/div>div classs-img-wrapper>img altbroken image title classlazyload crop-default data-description data-image-linkjavascript:void(0);
