Until the dreaded Casablanca chooses to release "The Real Thang," (TJW's "Let It Bleed," indeed, his very "Sgt. Pepper") buy - pick up on - LEAP for this CD. It has the same exact personnel (drummer Jeff Hale, who's still with him today, and bassist Steve "Lil' Stevie" Spears), and "Live" is comprised of all but one of the tracks from "Thang." "Mamas Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up To Be Babies," is the perfect response to the then-trendy "Outlaw-Cowboy" movement, and "I Get Off On It" (which really has to be heard to be believed...to wit: "I met a pretty thang in Los Angeles/But he was a man in women's clothes/I told him he was dressin' kinda dangerous/'cause how's a fool like me supposed t'know?/And I couldn't help but say/WHY you wanna dress that way?/An' he said 'I get Off On It...ain't no sweat off yo' nose, I jus' dig them women's clothes'" Oh, and BTW, "Get Off" is as an effective DISCO SUX song as is Ian Hunter's "We Gotta Get Out Of Here." (the ULTIMATE compliment) And, no, the song's not - necessarily- about Gretchen Wilson, but "Redneck Women," with its "Honey, I don't mean to push, but let's quit beatin' 'round the bush/Is it gonna be yo' place or mine," is TJW's perfecto-take on "We Got Tonight." Music like this comes along for one brief second, once in a lifetime; don't look like "The Real Thang" is ever going to be released, so "TJW Live On Austin City Limits" is definitely the next best thing. Go for it - and you'll be astounded at the thickness, the fullness of a Rock and Roll sound that only 3 musicians can create. 'course...it certainly helps if one of them is Tony Joe White, the only guitarist in history (aside from Eric Clapton) that can justify a dad-blamed "wah-wah pedal.")
Live from Austin, TX Poster
Few rockers wring more out of less, and cut across more musical categories in the process, than Tony Joe White. The bard of the Louisiana swampland makes it look so natural and sound so organic, telling stories with his wah-wah guitar over a spare, stripped-down rhythm section. Yet this 1980 live taping for the Austin City Limits series offers more than variations on a theme of "Polk Salad Annie" (his 1969 smash about a granny-chomping gator). As a writer, he shows an affinity for tender balladry on the soulful "Rainy Night in Georgia" (a chart-topper for Brook Benton) and "Billy," while cuts such as "Mama Don't Let Your Cowboys Grow Up to Be Babies," "Red Neck Women" (not to be confused with Gretchen Wilson), and "That's the Way a Cowboy Rocks and Rolls" would find him today classified as country. Though "Disco Blues" is pure boogie, "I Get Off on It" could pass as disco. And for those who can't get enough of "Polk Salad Annie," there's plenty more in that vein as well. --Don McLeeseBlues Music CDs
