Bobbie recorded a batch of songs with producer Rick Hall for the Curb division of Warners in 1978, but no album ever materialised. A lone 7″ was released in the U.S. of Steal Away by Jimmy Hughes (Hall had produced the original version in 1962) backed by He Did Me Wrong But He Did It Right by Patty Dahlstrom. In 1992 both tracks appeared alongside three previously unreleased outtakes on the European Curb compilation Ode To Billie Joe which were titled Slow Cookin’ (written by Bobbie), Sweet Country (Abby Marable) and Thunder In The Afternoon, (R.L. Grinn, Y. M. Norman and M. Davies) In the US. the compilation was re-titled Greatest Hits, and only included Steal Away and Slow Cookin’.
