Bobbie Gentry - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: 1968-1970

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."

The cover art photo comes from a BBC TV show in 1968. I actually cropped it from a larger photo that includes her doing a duet with Donovan. (The songs from that are on the first volume.) If you look at the bottom right corner, that tiny bit of purple is from Donovan's clothes.
