Album & artist
ALBUM

Ode to Billie Joe (1967)

Gentry's debut album on Capitol Records, built around the title single that spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned her two Grammy Awards in 1968. The record mixes Southern Gothic storytelling with lush string arrangements and spare guitar, and it holds up well beyond its hit single.
