It's not just because you're from the UK, that deep south accent is magical, warm and involving, (or it might be because I'm an accent geek and truly love them). You nailed his amazing array of skills... great analysis of why what sounded, at first, like just the background of the song is actually wonderful guitar playing! This was a super fun one, merci beaucoup!

I never forgot about him. I kept up with him and followed his career from the early 70’s until his untimely death. He definitely didn’t get the recognition he deserved, especially in his own country. But it was nice to see him finally get greater recognition in the U.S. in the 2000s. Loved his appearance with the Foo Fighters on David Letterman doing Polk Salad Annie.

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!

One of my friends was a tv makeup girl in Australia and actually met him I was green about that. I love his approach like - the bass player would be playing one continuous note and he would do sliding third licks over it like in Polk Salad Annie - so effective. It's true less can be more. Thanks again.

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.

I remember a concert on PBS with three fiddles, Yehudi Menuhin, Jean-Luc Ponty and Doug Kershaw. They each played a song and then played one together. I remember Doug's arch was out of string at the end since he used such pressure. I was with my cousin who is a good amateur bluegrass guitar player and he was impressed since they thought he wouldn't be up to the talent of the other two. BTW he didn't know Ponty, but who couldn't be impressed with his playing. I can't find it, if anyone can sent me a link?

Austin City Limits has always presented live music in the most tasteful way. Every Saturday night at 11pm EST on PBS. The very best have played there. Thanx, Fil. I really enjoy the way you smile and that makes me smile.

Thanks Fil!!..I have never heard of Tony Joe White, but I definitely know those songs he wrote! Yes, I love his storytelling ability in a Southern accent, reminds me of my Arkansas daddy! By the way, if occasionally we must encounter trolls at all on this channel, they better love rock and roll!!....🤣🤣✌❤🤘

He was badass and probably could have swung that axe and took his head clean off if he wasn't curious what the troll sounded like playing his guitar. I think we have a few axes laying around for trolls if need be

Tony Joe White really good Song writer. I believe he wrote a couple hits for Tina Turner. Love that natural wood look stratocaster, I didn't know they made them like that back in the 70s/80s. I wonder if it's custom. Great stuff Fil 🤙

I've always thought that if ever there was an unsung Stratocaster hero, that would be Tony Joe White. Absolutely kills it on Polk Salad Annie, too!

I still have Tony's original single of Polk Salad Annie on Monument Records. It was a hit in my area of the Southeast. I heard Tina Turner listened to Tony's demo of Steamy Windows and wanted to meet with him about it. When the meeting happened and he walked into the room she started laughing like a crazy woman cuz she thought by the sound of his voice that he was black!

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
