I've been listening this morning to Bobbie Gentry. Cold, grey Sundays are made for sounds like this; the roast is in the oven, a cup of Earl Grey tea to hand and the keywords are 'chill' and 'relax'.' This is the first track on the album and was Bobbie G's first major success. She always drew inspiration from her Mississippi roots where music tinged with melancholy meets a languidness that only living in sunny climes can bring. She also brings that Deep South bloody-mindedness that shines through.
