Revered as one of the originators of swamp rock, Tony Joe White proves that time has no jurisdiction over funky. His signature groove paints vivid pictures of a world he experienced growing up where poverty provided unity between otherwise divided races and bad-news women were sometimes too good to pass up. Tony Joe vividly provides a rich palette of beats and loops, utilizing both digital and live drums, strings, organs, and the unmistakable timbre of his guitar. White's time-worn baritone is haunting, like a restless spirit conjured by the funk that's always been the core of his music. His collective work portrays the complications of living on the cusp of impending danger, be it an encounter with a brutal country sheriff or a poisonous snake through the eyes of this master songwriter who has seen and lived all of it.
