The Swamp Fox appears proudly on his very own website. With, of course, a misty photo of those swamps, the bayou, the Everglades... Louisiana and damp surrounding areas: that's where Tony Joe was born and raised, that's where he learned to play guitar and sing as a teenager.

Tony Joe White is that American with his 'dark baritone, scarred and sweet'. That voice, over his unique 'bedrock of blues, backwoods country ... sounds too much his own to categorize.'

Known worldwide, since the late '60's, for mega hits like 'Polk Salad Annie', 'Rainy Night In Georgia' (recently to be found on the latest Boz Scaggs release), even 'Steamy Windows' (that he wrote for Tina Turner.)

Covered by Elvis, Roy, Dusty, Etta... Duets with Emmylou, Lucinda, Shelby... His pointed 'Goin' Down Rocking' suddenly even became a title track for Waylon Jennings!

His most recent visit to AB was certainly memorable: that sold-out double-bill with the late Solomon Burke in 2002. Now returning, from the bayou, close to you, exclusive in the flex, as duo and with his new CD: 'Who You Gonna Hoo-Doo?!'.
