Hi.
Today I'm back with part 3 of the ode to the "Ode To Billie Joe".
I checked on the CD's I have of Bobbie Gentry,
on some of them it's Billy Joe, on others Billie Joe...
First time I noticed this was when I did once more some (tiring)
research on the w.w.w. for more covers of this great song.
I had (much appreciated!) help of countless fellow-bloggers,
and ofcourse all the musicians who were inspired to
actually cover this beautiful song...
For this third part I've gathered some extremes, enfin,
just listen for yourselves and have fun!

in case you don't know: there's also a finnish version of "ode to billie joe" from iiris rautio (iiris sometimes also is spelled iris) and it's called "rinteen poika".
Hi Nick Motown,
No, I didn't know :-)
Maybe (if you've got it) you can add it here?
(I'm curious, this song sung in Finnish!)
peace, E-mile
Nothing here, please move on ;-)

E-mile. Wow. Were we separated at birth? You seem to have the same obsessions I do. Years ago I compiled about three hours worth of Ode to Billy Joe on Cassette. (Same with Caravan & Sunny) I'll have to start the cross reference process and see if I can add to your seemingly complete collection. the RS link for Ode pt 3 seems to have died. Is there a part 2? Thanks and keep up the entertaining work! Oh, and the Rufus Harley 'Feelin Good' had me doing just that.
hi Tim, sorry, but the original part 2 was indeed killed by blogger
This was the content:
Hi.

These are all instrumental versions.
The King Curtis track I especially mention,
'caue here you can actually hear how close a
saxophone can sound like the human voice!
Enjoy.
