Regular price
$ 19.00
"With a deep, come-hither voice" and an "ability to turn that throbbing, thumping uh-uhh hazy guitar beat", the King of Swamp Rock Tony is known for popularizing swamp music, wrote gems like "Polk Salad Annie" and "Rainy Night in Georgia," has had his songs performed by Elvis, Ray Charles, and Tina Turner. Before passing, he released a few albums on Yep Roc, including Rain Crow. Recorded at his own studio and produced by his son, Jody White, Rain Crow summons recollections of long ago, when animals foretold the weather, tongue-talking worshippers proved their faith by handling snakes and a bad wind could drive a man to edge of insanity. The nine-song set features new compositions White wrote over the past three years, including co-writes with his wife, Leann, and Billy Bob Thornton on "The Middle of Nowhere."
