Tony Joe White
Snakey - Tony Joe White Music

Yes, the "Polk Salad Annie" man is still out there writing, playing and recording. I saw him last year in a club in New Orleans during Jazzfest. When I tried to describe him to people after that night, the only description that came close to capturing what I heard was to say that John Lee Hooker's spirit had come back to Earth and was now residing in the body of a white guitar man from the Louisiana swamps. Tony did a mesmerizing performance that night with just his electric guitar and a drummer. The new release gives you some idea of his live sound. Tony's music incorporates rock, blues and soul influences to create a sound that is unmistakably his. This one is a solid effort that should win Tony Joe some new fans.
