An influential musician in the '60s and '70s swamp rock scene, Tony Joe White's music is as primal as a lizard's backbone. It echoes from the magnolia groves and bayous of his Louisiana childhood, and looms into the present every time the molasses and tanned-leather combination of his guitar and voice is unleashed. White himself said that the foundation of his music "comes from hearing blues singers play guitar with maybe just a harmonica or stomping their feet for accompaniment." This 23-track 180g viny 2LP edition of Music On Vinyl's Collected series gathers material from his '60s-'00s output including his breakthrough hit "Polk Salad Annie" and the Brook Benton covered "A Rainy Night in Georgia" as well as a series of duets with the likes of Shelby Lynne, Lucinda Williams, Michelle White, Eric Clapton and J.J. Cale.
