Mr. Pride may be the most important Black artist in Country music but was hardly the first or only--there was a Black harmonica player on the Grand Old Opry in the mid-1920's and Stoney Edwards has had a good career now.

BOBBY JENTRY "the best of..."cd, 2105

career stats:
studio albums.....9
singles...............20

one of the early female country singers to actually write and produce her own material.
nothing quite matches up to the 'dark' signature tune "ode to billie joe" on here...
strange to note that her biggest UK hit was "i'll never fall in love again" which was her only #1 hit over there, it was also her highest charting song here in Australia
reaching #5...
not a bad compilation, liking or loving mostly everything, except her version of "son of a preacher man"....sorry Bobby, but that song belongs to Dusty IMO, and that horrible mushy "raindrops keep falling on my head"...i just dont care who sings that song, i just hate it with a passion

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: raindrops keep falling on my head
best track: ode to billie joe

Anyone like Kevin Costner and Modern West?
I love darling Kevin but I just don't think he can sing.
BTW, I saw Draft Day last night. Don't usually like Football movies
but what can I say, Kevin was the star Confusedmile:
