• Track Listing

After her "Ode to Billie Joe" LP hit #1 on the country AND pop charts (where it knocked "Sgt. Pepper’s" out of the top spot), you’d think that she would have been disappointed by the much more modest commercial success of her 1968 sophomore LP. But that was not the case—Bobbie is a true artist, and this album immediately spoke to critics and fans as she seamlessly and beautifully merged country with folk, blues and soul. "The Delta Sweete" has since been recognized as an early Bobbie Gentry masterpiece, and now it gets the deluxe treatment on 2 CDs or double vinyl: the complete album in its original mono mix plus a new stereo mix. Ten bonus tracks include an unreleased demo of "The Way I Do," an instrumental version of "Okolona River Bottom Band," "Seventh Son" (band version), "Mississippi Delta" (alternate version), demos of "Mornin’ Glory," "Refractions" and more!
