Description
1990’s experimental duo Mercury Rev re-imagine Bobbie Gentry’s 1968 masterpiece, handing over vocal duties to a suite of sultry and soulful singers. Featuring the likes of Hope Sandoval, Margo Price, Norah Jones, Beth Orton and Lucinda Williams, it is a committed and affectionate resurrection of an album that anticipated by three decades their own pivotal expedition through transcendental America, 1998’s Deserter’s Songs. They all honour Gentry’s creative triumph with spacious invention and hallucinatory flair.
