Topic: Tony Joe White

TONY JOE WHITE @ The Jazz Cafe London


Thursday 3rd March 2011


Tony Joe White has accomplished much in the years since he emerged from his home in Louisiana’s swamp country and the hardscrabble circuit of Texas honky-tonks. His music is part of America’s soundtrack – sparse and elegant, filled with shadows, sadness and beauty. Nobody else writes songs like these – songs that evoke both the mysteries of the place were he was raised and the spirits that haunt us all in our most private, lonely moments.

Agree!
I saw him last year in de Lantaarn in Hellendoorn, next year same venue and I'll be there again. Brilliant performance and noone sounds like him. What a warm, deep voice. I have been a fan since the beginning.

All I can say is ... what a privelege to be at the front of the stage to bear witness at this wonderful songwriter & performer. I believe there were more musicians than ordinary fans in the audience, that tells its own story.
His new cd 'The Shine' is excellant.

Yes, it's a privilege to see this icon "live on stage" - as I did last Saturday in Hamburg.

The first song I heard 40 years ago was "RAINY NIGHT IN GEORGIA" - still love it.
