TJW, the man's had this hypnotic, mesmerizing juju about himself! I first saw him in New Orleans, during Jazzfest, at a smaller venue, separate from the festival. Ironically, Dale Hawkins was also playing, but it was Tony Joe who put a spell on me. He was solo, using a looper, a veritable, one man band. I've never seen anything like it! 6 years later, I also caught him at the Chicago Blues Festival. This time with a band. Although it was great, the daytime, outdoor setting didn't have the intimacy of the smaller, indoor, solo spotlight. One of a kind!

Tony's got an incredible sense of timing. He gets so much flavor, with so few ingredients. He's way down home, there are five forks to the Pearl River. Tony sounds like he'd be at home tying his trout line to the knee of a cypress tree. Catching tabby cats, using the stump perch for bait. The sound is regional, right out of the heart of the Southern bubble. There are Americans down there, You got to eat and drink with them. If you're looking for the roots of rock and roll. Tony's got them. Tony was born in Louisiana.

Thanks for following up on this suggestion, Fil! Haven't heard in years, forgot all about this song! Appreciate Tony Joe White much more now seeing him live than before, when regarded as just another country/blues/pop act. More of a hard rocker/psychedelic blues fan back then. That would still be the center of preference, but greater respect and appreciation for a wider spectrum of music surrounding that, I guess. Grouped this song with others like it -- 'Troglodyte' and 'Hot Rod Lincoln.' Quite a bit of talent in Tony Joe White, which can be appreciated by any other guitarist or musician. Gets a great sound out of that instrument, as most advanced players like Tony do. Great voice and singing ability, but not quite what the mainstream rockers were looking for when spending their hard-earned dollars, or asked what gift wanted. Tony faced stiff competition from various genres he crossed, and never found that niche that brought him the fame and success he may have otherwise enjoyed under different circumstances. Another problem is that many of these artists were only good for one or two decent songs. Ironically, would now likely purchase an album or CD of his if encountered!

First!!!!!! TJW was a bad as with a great southern voice and warm smile .. His music was sadly not as famously shared in the era people were either into disco or southern rock. You should listen to I get off on it , it’s a great TJW song funny too

Yeah! He was vastly underrated as a musician, it'a cryin' shame!

Just watch this one again after your Rainy Night in Georgia Tony Joe White analysis. Tony could sing and play the slow Ballard and the rockers! He was another excellent singer, songwriter and storyteller.

I love his guitar and vocals in “Polk Salad Annie”. This song is new to me. Thanks.
