| | Description: | The late, great, Louisiana-born Tony Joe White first gained fame mainly
through his songwriting; 1969â??s â??Polk Salad Annieâ? was his only Top
Ten hit, but artists such as Dusty Springfield (â??Willie and Laura Mae
Jonesâ?), Brook Benton (â??Rainy Night in Georgiaâ?) and Elvis Presley
(â??For Olâ?? Times Sakeâ?; â??Iâ??ve Got a Thing About You Babyâ?) took his
songs to the charts. But White was always been a singular performer
in his own right; the honeyed burr of his baritone, his alternately tough
and tender vocal delivery and liberal use of his â??whomper stomperâ?
wah-wah pedal lend him a completely distinctive sound. Simply
put, nobody, but nobody, sounds like Tony Joe White, and on this
2-CD collection, weâ??ve rounded up all three of the classic albums
he recorded for Warner Bros. in the early â??70sâ??all of which are out of print and
costing a mint onlineâ??plus non-LP singles to create The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings. Recorded
in Memphis (partly at Ardent Studios of Big Star fame), 1971â??s Tony Joe White paired him with producer
Peter Asher (James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt) and shifted the focus slightly from the fuzz-drenched swamp rock
of Whiteâ??s Monument recordings to a more introspective style, though â??They Caught the Devil and Put Him
in Jail in Eudora, Arkansasâ? and â??My Kind of Womanâ? could blow the doors off any roadhouse south of the
Mason-Dixon line. Whiteâ??s next album, 1972â??s The Train Iâ??m On, continued this gentler, more vulnerable style to
great effect; produced by the legendary team of Jerry Wexler and Tom Dowd, with the mighty Muscle Shoals
sessioneers in support, Trainâ??s set of songs tackled complex themes of dislocation, alienation and loss with a
blend of blues, soul and folk highlighted by some beautiful acoustic guitar work by White and Tippy Armstrong.
Itâ??s a masterpiece. And 1973â??s Homemade Ice Cream might be even better; Whiteâ??s original version of â??For
Olâ?? Times Sakeâ? is just devastating, and â??I Want Love (â??Tween You and Me),â? â??Taking the Midnight Trainâ?
and the title track are every bit as good. Co-producer Tom Dowd and a crack band of guitarist Reggie Young,
bassist Norbert Putnam, drummer Kenny Malone and keyboardist David Briggs catch every nuance of these
deceptively simple songs. - .. RECORDINGS1-1 to 1-14 ?1971 Warner Bros. Records Inc.
