Mercury Rev - Bobbie Gentry's Delta Sweete Revisited (CD)

Brand new album from psych all-stars Mercury Rev, available February 8th on Bella Union via [PIAS]/Inertia.

The Delta Sweete Revisited is Mercury Rev’s track-by-track resurrection of Bobbie Gentry’s 1968 overlooked masterwork of the same name. The album shows 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.

Features an all star cast of supporting vocalists including Margo Price, Norah Jones, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucinda Williams, Vashti Bunyan, Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Susanne Sundfør, Lætitia Sadier (Stereolab), Marissa Nadler, Kaela Sinclair (M83).

Also includes a cover of Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billie Joe”, which was a no.1 smash upon release.
