One of the best cd's I have ever heard. A truly American music. Tony Joe White belongs along John Lee Hooker and all those Southern singers and guitarists. The south may have lost the Civil War but they have won everything else !! And I am even from the south !!Free Music Review: Best of Tony Joe
Hit: 5 Stars
Well! I had never heard of Tony Joe white until three weeks ago, by accident I came across him singing Polk Salad Annie on You tube. Fantastic. Straight away I downloaded into Amazon and bought my first CD of this artist. I will be buying many more. The CD is great and i think this artist is as good as Elvis was.

Free Music Review: Amazing oportunity to understand the great voice and music arrangements of Tony: MUST BE IN YOUR COLLECTION !
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this CD thanks to the sale offer Amazong inform me. It was a hard to fine CD from long years ago. Now I believe I was purchased one of the best record of the year !. The hits compilation is the best sample of who Tony had not all the press and major press attention. Tony was as JJ Cale, great and personal music ocult below the Billboard hits.
However, unfortunately the CD had not include Tony other hits made him a great singer and musician.
Buy it now..good price for a collection CD!
Free Music Review: A REALLY GREAT ALBUM BY A MASTER!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
From the moment I first heard "Polk Salad Annie", back in the late '60s, I became a Tony Joe White fan. It was really refreshing to hear a fellow Southerner playing a style of music that was unique to my part of the world. Tony had real "Soul" without trying to be a Black wannabe. There were always elements of Country and Funk in his style but he combined them in an original way that others would only weakly imitate later. Sadly, after a couple of hits, he seemed to disappear and, frankly, I even forgot what his name was. Then, a few weeks ago someone mentioned him as an influence and it was like "Oh yeah: I remember him. He was cool!" So, I ordered this album and my Yankee wife and I listened to it for the first time in my truck while we were making the weekly run into town to buy groceries and other supplies. My wife is too young to remember "Polk Salad Annie" but the minute it came on, man, her head was bobbing and she got a big grin on her face...and she kept grinning and bobbing through the whole album! I had never heard most of the tunes in this collection but I wasn't disappointed by a single one! What's amazing about Mr. White is that, while he writes, sings, plays the the guitar and harmonica adequately, he is not a virtuoso on any of them. Yet, when you take the sum total of one of his performances, he is really, really great!
I guess the big surprise for me was "Ol' Mother Earth"! Who would have thought that an ol' Southern Boy would have written such a sensitive pro-environment tune. I must admit that it made my throat thicken up a little. Another extra good one was "Willy And Laura May Jones": social commentary at its finest!
This is a great introductory album for those who are unfamiliar with Tony Joe's work...and just as great for those of us who are.
I'm so happy to see that he's still around and still recording. I have already ordered more of his albums.
I just hope that he tours in North Central Florida!
