Ode to Billie Joe - Bobbie Gentry Cover

Hey everyone, been a while. This one seemed appropriate for the start of summer, especially the third of June. This has gotta be my favorite storytelling song, and it's a lot of fun to play as well. Now I don't live anywhere near the Delta or Chikasaw County, but the tracks seemed to suit this one well. Enjoy, and don't get hit by a train like I almost did.

Brotha I’ve been listening to your cover on repeat. You’re the only one on YouTube who really captures the emotion and feel of this song. Melancholic but up beat. Slow, but rockin. Idk how to describe it. Bobby G be proud

A great interpretation of a MASTERPIECE. A Faulkner novel in 5 minutes. And you didn't get hit by a train. This is a country song but the rhythm and 7th chords are all black R and B. Is there another . A Faulkner novel in 5 minutes. And you didn't get hit by a train. This is a country song but the rhythm and 7th chords are all black R and B. Is there another country song with that type of rhythm and chord progression?

Well done young man. Not easy to capture the mood of that song.

Living on the edge! Nice cover! Hadn't heard this song before

This was brilliant! I want to use it on my Channel, Only The Truth Reviews! If that's OK with you.

Don't forget to keep the SOMBER tone. It is a song of DEEP MOURNING born of the hardships of the DEEP SOUTH
