RE: [Harp-L] Recreation of Bobby Gentry's classic 'Ode To Billie Joe' album

["Kent Angelos" <kmangelos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The name of the album was "Ode To Billie Joe".  All of the information that
I can find on the recording session is it was recorded in 1967 in Los
Angeles at Capitol Records.  Bobbie Gentry sang and played guitar.  Jimmie
Haskell added strings after Bobbie recorded her guitar/vocals.  That's all I
can find about the recording session.  I haven't been able to find any
information about any other musicians.

for the Uninformed (me), what's the actual name of the album you're
wondering if Tommy played on?

I failed to find it on Google. Did Bobby recreate it, or someone else? 

Although Google says, with what I assume to be Pride, that  it only took
.37 seconds to come up with 11,100 results, I gave up after 34.50 seconds,
after being 100% unsuccessful, but still, somehow remaining Proud, which my
neighbors think is a sin of some sort, which makes it even better. Or worse,
I'm not sure. (And yes, that's a terribly written sentence, feel free to
have skipped it.)

Anyhow, I'm not an expert on what Tom's done, but I have a friend who
is....send me the album name and I'll ask.
