Free Music Notes for Tony Joe

Free Music Review: One of the best Tony Joe albums I have heard
Hit: 4 Stars

The High Sheriff of Calhoun Parrish was redone on his "One Hot July" CD of a few years ago, and the similarities and differences make it worthwhile listening to the original version here.

"Save your Sugar for Me" has a nice uptempo feel with a full band in tight accompaniment, although the recording has the quality and feel of a late 60s/early 70s recording session. Tony's rendition of "Hard to Handle" is energetic and fun to listen to, but may not be as enjoyable if you have heard the more modern remakes first.

Side one is pretty much all originals while Side two is mostly cover tunes. The ability to present originals and covers is well handled here, as most artists dont even attempt to cover many tunes. They will instead stick with as many of their own compositions as possible, with the obvious exception being Wierd Al Yankovic. Tony handles this task easily.

If you like Tony Joe White, this album is a must. Although the recording may sound a bit dated in its quality, the overall sound is very good and the content is enjoyable. An introduction to this album by my dad has led to many years of listening enjoyment. (and by coincidence, my dad and Tony Joe White share a birthday.)
