You are thinking of Long Black Veil by Danny Dill and the great Marijohn Wilkin. Actually, LBL was written by Bobby George and Vern Stovall. I was originally going to post It's My Time by Jody, which was written by Mr. Loudermilk, but switched to this because the single wasn't in good enough shape. Still looking for a good copy of that...thanks for pointing out the error.
@jimw1221 I sure would like to know if this is true! My husband played steel for her when she was performing in Eufala,Oaklohoma it was live on CNN! I got to know her very well! I can afirm she is truly an awesome lady in all phases of her life!
This song's been around, lots of people have done it. But I think Jody defined it. Her pain is so obvious. I think this was her growing up record - when she made the transition from teen angst to adult angst.
Great song by a great artist , Who unfortunately thought she should have been bigger, She could not have been bigger in my mind, This song shows a great voice and talent
I had the great honor of meeting Jody on two seperate occasions down in Branson. Unfortunately, the "Grand Ladies Show" is no longer there so she's moved on, but what an experience it was! Her voice is just as strong as it ever was and what an entertainer she is! Love this song and Jody can sing anything. Thanks for posting it!
I agree 100%. Beautiful arrangement, production and exquisite performance. I hope she sees these comments. In our last conversation, she was not pleased with the fruits of her career. She should be.
Of all the fine renditions of this mournful, melodic and lyrical ballad, Ms. Miller's was always my favorite since I first heard her voice gracing this tune in the late 1960s.
Jody's version of American Trilogy is now on you tube...pure perfection. What an amazing voice !

Sadly, I tell you Jody has Alzheimer. A beautiful person, a beautiful lady.
This song was written by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin and originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell in 1959.

Mugwump, do you have Jody's version of "American Trilogy"? I've heard that she did a terrific job, but I've never actually heard her version.

I just heard she is still plugging away down in Branson Mo. She is good at Gospel these days.

No one has or had that wonderful, rich vibrato that Jody has. Her singing style remains a beautiful thing to behold.
