Bobbie Gentry – The Girl From Chickasaw County (The Complete Capitol Masters) (2018) [8CDs Box Set]

Bobbie Gentry - The Girl From Chickasaw County (The Complete Capitol Masters) (2018) [8CDs Box Set]

Like her signature song “Ode to Billie Joe,” Bobbie Gentry is an enigma by choice. “Ode to Billie Joe” deliberately leaves out details that would spell out the story and Gentry removed herself from public view sometime in the late ’70s for reasons that have never been fully disclosed. Many have tried to track her down because her cult not only persisted into the 21st century, it even grew — so much so that an observer would be forgiven if they believed Gentry was something of an outsider artist instead of a mainstay on television who hosted a variety show of her own.

Tom Petty – Wildflowers & All The Rest (2020)

Tom Petty - Wildflowers & All The Rest (2020)

Promised for years prior to Tom Petty’s untimely death in 2017, Wildflowers & All the Rest expands the rocker’s beloved 1994 album Wildflowers into a comprehensive box, one filled with outtakes, demos, home recordings, and live performances. Petty originally delivered Wildflowers as a double-CD set to Warner Bros., but the label convinced him that it’d be easier to market a single disc, albeit one that ran the length of a double LP.

One of Joe Bonamassa’s primary influences was Eric Clapton, so the idea behind Royal Tea makes some sense: he spends the 2020 album saluting British blues. This may seem like a distinction without a difference, since Bonamassa has never shied away from Zeppelin nods on his albums, but Royal Tea does indeed sound different than his other studio albums.

Bruce Springsteen – Letter To You (2020)

Bruce Springsteen - Letter To You (2020)

Letter to You comes quickly on the heels of Western Stars, a long-gestating 2019 immersion into the lush, progressive country vistas of the early 1970s, but in a sense, it’s a true sequel to Bruce Springsteen’s 2016 memoir Born to Run and its 2017 stage companion Springsteen on Broadway. It’s an album where Springsteen reckons with the weight of the past, how its ghosts are still readily apparent in the present, an album where the veteran singer/songwriter is keenly aware he has more road in his rearview mirror than he does on the highway ahead of him.
