Bad Mouthin' marks a notable shift in Tony Joe White's musical progression. Known widely as a swamp rock legend, Tony Joe breaks the mold on his newest record, and will release a blues album in the fall of 2018. The record features classic blues covers from the likes of Lightnin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and more, along with tracks self-written, but never before released. Tony Joe's delicate guitar work and patient approach to recording, combined with his lifelong admiration for legendary blues musicians and songwriters, make this release a poignant moment in Tony Joe's history, and hints at the creative avenues he has yet to explore. Bad Mouthin' was recorded at Tony Joe White's home studio in Leiper's Fork, TN during the spring of 2017, and was produced by his son and manager, Jody White. -
Tony Joe White is going back to his beginnings with his newest album 'Bad Mouthin'.'
The blues-based album, featuring some of White's first songs, is set to be released on September 28 2018 via Yep Roc Records.
«When and where I grew up, blues was just about the only music I heard and loved,» recalls White. «I thought it was time to make a blues album that sounds the way I always loved the music.»
The first blues-based album from White features five originals, including «Stockholm Blues,» «Cool Town Woman» and «Rich Woman Blues, some of his earliest tracks written just before his hits such as «Polk Salad Annie» and «A Rainy Night in Georgia.» The album also features Tony Joe White's take on songs by artists such as Jimmy Reed and Lightnin' Hopkins.
White also took an unconventional approach to recording the album. The tracks were recorded using his own gear in an old barn on his property. Setting up a studio in two former horse stalls, 'Bad Mouthin'' was recorded with just his 1965 Fender Stratocaster, and produced by his son Jody White. The anticipated release of the album comes over 50 years after the original creation of some of the tracks featured on the album.
