I’m thrilled and honored to be a part of this project.” I’ve been a big fan of Mercury Rev for a long time as well. Whenever Ode to Billie Joe came on the radio my mom and I would sing every word. I realized while working on this project just how much she has influenced the way I developed my voice and song writing over the years. Of the collaboration, Wennerstrom says, “I grew up listening to Bobbie Gentry. Today, Mercury Rev are pleased to announce a limited 7” vinyl featuring a brand new cover of Bobbie Gentry’s ‘ Louisiana Man’ with vocals from Erika Wennerstrom, which is available to stream now. The album featured an unmatched roster of female vocals from Susanne Sundfør, Norah Jones, Margo Price, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucinda Williams, Vashti Bunyan, Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Susanne Sundfør, Lætitia Sadier (Stereolab), Marissa Nadler, Kaela Sinclair (M83) and more. Earlier this year, Mercury Rev released the much adored track-by-track resurrection of Bobbie Gentry’s 1968 overlooked masterwork ‘The Delta Sweete’.
