“Okolona River Bottom Band” #54 12/9/1967

Another swampy-sounding tune from Bobbie Gentry was the followup to “Ode To Billie Joe.” One can tell this had at least a subliminal influence on “Polk Salad Annie” with a great backbeat and a great horn section. Bobbie would concentrate more on TV over the next few years, hosting limited-run shows in Britain and Canada, while putting together a Vegas act. She would have a Top 40 record in 1970 with “Fancy” which became a country Top 10 hit for Reba McEntire in 1991.
