Tony Joe White has parlayed his songwriting talent into a modestly successful country and rock career in Europe as well as America.

 Tony Joe White Album Reviews
Tony Joe was already 26 when he started recording, so perhaps that explains his style was already fully formed from the beginning onwards and that he had already written a bunch of material.
During songs like these, White sounds as if he’s from an unspecified era and a region where time stood still, modern times never really had much of an impact, and media are replaced by folk tales and a stronger bond between a man and his soil.
White isn’t particularly creative with it – it’s not that it wasn’t a repetitive dirge to begin with in the first place – but of course it sounds right at home on an album by this guy.

 Cary Baker's conqueroo - Tony Joe White Announcements
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Tony Joe White, best known for his swamp pop smash hit “Polk Salad Annie,” is putting the finishing touches on his first new recording in six years.
For the new album, White wrote three of the 10 songs (not counting the framing solo acoustic instrumentals “Gabriella” and “Gabriella’s Affair”) with his wife Leann, who also took the cover portrait, and he sings the balmy “Playa Del Carmen Nights” with his daughter Michelle.
Southern gentleman that he is, Tony Joe steps aside to permit Lynne to sing the opening verse of “Can’t Go Back Home,” which they wrote together, so that hers is the first voice you hear on the album.

Tony Joe White has been writing and recording material for nearly 40 years.
With music that settles into a slowly simmering murkiness and vocals that, at best, are an acquired taste, White’s abilities as a songwriter far outstrip his talents as a performer.
Instead, they spar with White in a subdued fashion by matching his gruff whisper with their own understated tones and by layering a tangle of guitars on top of the repetitive, hypnotic rhythms.

 Cary Baker's conqueroo - Tony Joe White Biography
While he would never use these terms himself, White is the most authentic of artists, and it’s not an act — there is simply nobody more real or less pretentious than Tony Joe White.
Three of the five songs Tony Joe sings by himself have a narrative female presence: there’s the high-maintenance hottie of “Rich Woman Blues,” the unfaithful lover of “Robbin’ My Honeycomb” and the “cover pulling…hip slanging momma” of “Ice Cream Man.” The remaining two songs are thematic changes of pace.
Brook Benton turned White’s “Rainy Night in Georgia” into a hit, and Dusty Springfield reached the charts with her version of Tony Joe’s “Willie and Laura Mae Jones.” His songs were also recorded by the likes of Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Etta James, Roy Orbison, Isaac Hayes, Charlie Rich, Joe Cocker and Hank Williams, Jr.

It's something to contemplate when an artist of Tony Joe White's stature waits until his 29th record to make the album he's been dreaming about for most, if not all, of his career.
This is the sound of the night, where the bullfrogs, snakes, hungry gators, broken dreamers, haunted desperadoes, lonesome travelers, and wild-eyed seekers of the unspeakable all come together in one man's musical dreams to speak.
One of White's particular gifts is, even when singing in the first person, he offers an empathetic view so close to the bone that we not only know the people in these songs, we've been them.

 Eyes - Tony Joe White - Song Listings
Abandoning the idiosyncratic, bluesy country-rock that made his name, White turned to smooth disco, creating a late-night seduction record closer to Boz Scaggs than Tony Joe White, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, since White's voice suits the stylish groove well and it's appealing on the surface.
Six of the 10 songs have some conjugation of "love" in the title, and if that wasn't clear enough, there was the swinging cover photo, finding Tony Joe in a wide-open, wide-collared shirt, chatting up a lovely blond woman.
That might be why many White fans don't dig this album -- it's such a smooth affair that when he returns to the swamp, as on "Texas Woman," it's disarming -- but it's enjoyable for what it is. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide [-] Continue

The King of Swamp Rock, Louisiana-born singer/guitarist Tony Joe White, released the 10-song UNCOVERED in 2006.
Although less star-studded than 2004's THE HEROINES, the album finds White once again trading confidently in the thick, hazy, blues-tinged style that helped define the genre of swamp rock.
White isn't quite as fiery here as he was in the days of "Polk Salad Annie" and "Willie and Laura Mae Jones," but his bayou drawl--which is just that much more, well, swampy--and his slow-burn guitar playing nicely evoke steamy Louisiana nights.
