Tony Joe White rose out of the swamplands of Louisiana, began working clubs in Texas during the mid 60s and moved to Nashville in ‘68 before issuing his debut album featuring Top Ten hit “Polk Salad Annie.” His song “Rainy Night in Georgia” has become a near-standard with more than 100 artists covering the classic. 35 years and 25 albums later, White’s latest recording Uncovered features seven new songs and some reworked versions of well-known hits. Tony Joe White performed on Music with Jay Trachtenberg in Studio 1A.
