How many of you can name two Tony Joe White songs? Yeah, I know, after "Polk Salad Annie" it's "Uh, gimme a second, I swear I've heard other songs by him, wait, it's coming to me..." What the hell is wrong with us? "Polk Salad Annie" is entirely baddass. In that category, attitude, it's like "Rumble" and "Who Do You Love" getting stoned with J.J. Cale. So, here we go. A couple random cuts. Dig the guitar tone on his long ass version of John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom". Not sure of the vintage, could be later, but it has a cool vibe. And as much as the guitar on these is a critical element, the economic horns on "They Caught The Devil And Put Him In Jail In Eudora Arkansas" put it over the top. You can just see the people in the studio during the first playback, looking at each other, going "We got it."
