BOBBY GENTRY "ODE TO BILLY JOE" . . . . THIS TUNE USED TO GIVE ME THE CREEPS WHEN I WAS A LAD . . . . BUT HER VOICE JUST FLAT OUT ENTHRALLED ME, ATMOSPHERIC LIKE A MIST SHROUDED, LOUISIANA SWAMP. . . . STILL A SPOOKY, BLUESY, BACKWOODS TALE OF DARK INTRIGUE AND UNSPEAKABLE THINGS . . . . WHAT HAPPENS ON THE BRIDGE, STAYS ON THE BRIDGE . . . .

BOBBY GENTRY, SULTRY SOUTHERN SONGSTRESS . . . . EVERYTIME I HEAR IT, STILL PUTS THE GOOSEBUMPS UP MY ARMS . . . . THOUGHT THE FILM WAS A BUNCH OF SHITE, BUT THAT WAS ALWAYS GONNA BE THE WAY OF IT I GUESS . . . . HOLLYWOOD DOESN'T POSSESS A GOOD TRACK RECORD WHEN IT COMES TO TURNIN SONGS INTO FILMS !!!!
