Ode To Billie Joe is an original combination of blues, folk and jazz elements, which aside from containing one of the greatest debut singles of all time; ‘Ode To Billie Joe’/‘Mississippi Delta’ furthered Bobbie’s recollections of her homeland on songs like ‘I Saw An Angel Die’, ‘Chickasaw County Child’, ‘Papa Won’t You Let Me Go To Town With You?’ and ‘Hurry, Tuesday Child’. These recordings are now supplemented by a selection of Bobbie’s acoustic demos including previously unreleased song ‘The Seventh Son’, an alternate version of ‘Mississippi Delta’, a cancelled single of a re-recorded ‘Sunday Best’/’Show-Off’ and for the first time on cd Bobbie’s Italian language entry in the 1968 Sanremo song festival ‘La Siepe’.
