Thanks Robert, this was pretty good.
I played both, all the way through!
I really liked Bobby Gentry. I had to refresh my memory about Ode and came across this where she plays and sings live, it was impressive, but I really don’t remember it. https://youtu.be/nv33eaygVDQ
Sammi’s vocal delivery has that twang that I don’t really like. That slight break in the voice at the start of a line or verse where a word like “In” sounds like “h’In”. You’re right about the suitability for Nick Cave.
Bobby - 90
Sammi - 50
Now, I’m off to see my doctor about this nasty twitch I’ve just developed.
