Based on this review, I'm definitely buying Ode to Billy Joe! It's amazing how many supposed film music fans haven't purchased this recording. It boggles my already boggled mind. Thankfully it's done well outside of this little community, thanks to Ms. Gentry and the popularity of the film.
Bruce - got this when it first came out, and it's definitely one of THE releases of the year. Emotional beauty of the highest order, and I'm as boggled as you are that it hasn't sold out!
P.S. The movie airs tonight on TCM @ 10PM EST.....
