This is essential music for anyone interested in the evoultion of modern country music. Bobbie Gentry burst on to the scene in 1967 with the biggest debut of a female artist ever. Ode to Billie Joe dethroned the Beatles on the singles and album chart. Bobbie's debut received a record ten grammy nominations, winning four. The album is a stunning narrative of her native Mississippi roots. She wrote nine of the ten tracks. Deeply personal, exotic,and reflective: a woman with a powerful authentic voice. 'Touch Em With Love' would sell one tenth as much as her massive debut(150,000 copies). Still,it shows an artist evolving musically. The range is breathtaking. Country, pop, r&b, she could do it all and do it superbly well. Touch Em With Love did give Bobbie her biggest international hit single. Her cover of the Bacharach- David' I'll Never Fall In Love Again' topped the U.K and Aussie charts and charted throughout the world. Raven Records has done a top notch job bringing a new audience to these classic recordings.Read full review
