[Music] Tony Joe White RIP

[Super Steve Earle]

With apologies if this has already been posted, but saddened to see the Swamp Fox has passed on a week ago. As Roy Wood says, 'Here's one':

 

[catfish]

He also wrote Rainy Night In Georgia. RIP.

 

[Binney on acid]

I rated him and have a few of his albums. I saw him once in concert at ‘The Borderline’, in London. RIP.

 

[Jam The Man]

Nice raw version of Polk Salad Annie there.

Elvis performed many a good cover of it in his concerts,but his studio version was poor IMO

 

[jakarta]

Cover version by another superb guitarist who he outlived by some distance...

Loved him Great songwriter RIP

 

[Icy Gull]

A song from him in the Bobby Goldsbro very cheesy mould but very much of the time (don't think that this was written by him though)

RIP

Very sad. A regular in Australia. Saw him three or four times and have several of his albums.

And his interview with Roy and HG on Australian TV was an all time classic

Such a shame. One of the best songwriters ever. Plus he could perform as well.
Loved this one.

Guess it's a sign of us getting old when your favourites start dying. R.I.P. TJW.
