Tune in this Wednesday February 22nd (6:30pm – 7:45pm) to Greg Vandy’s excellent show on KEXP–The Roadhouse.
Pat Thomas will be talking about his upcoming book, Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965-1975 (published by Fantagraphics) and our companion ‘soundtrack’ Listen, Whitey! The Sounds of Black Power 1967-1974 (LITA 081) both out Tuesday February 28th.
Lay your ears on this great audio-documentary about Bobbie Gentry, one of the greatest American singer/songwriters of our time.
Rosanne Cash examines the span of Bobbie’s career with her rise to fame and eventual withdrawal from the spotlight. Such a great piece. A treat for old fans, and a nice introduction to Ms. Gentry’s music for fresh ears.
Listen to the broadcast HERE. There’s only 14 hours left, so listen quick!
