Harper Valley P.T.A., written by the great Tom T. Hall, is one of the best and most coverable songs ever.
First, the version by Jeannie C. Riley that made it famous. Yes, this is frickin’ awesome.
Up to now, my favorite covers have been this one by the wonderful Mary Jane Hooper.
And a mostly forgotten one by Syd Straw.
But there’s a new contender. Kelly Willis. Read about it at Twang Nation.
