With a commanding, seductive voice (Mother Jones) and the ability to transform a hazy, pulsating guitar riff (PopMatters), Tony Joe White - also known as the "King of Swamp Rock" - unveiled his 19th studio album, Rain Crow, in 2016. Produced by his son, Jody White, and recorded at his own studio, this nine-song collection invokes the nostalgia of a bygone era when animals predicted the weather, worshippers spoke in tongues, and the "bad wind" could push a man to the brink of madness. White's latest work, written with his wife, Leann, and Billy Bob Thornton on "The Middle of Nowhere," showcases his songwriting prowess over the past three years and includes signature hits such as "Polk Salad Annie" and "Rainy Night in Georgia," which have been performed by legends such as Elvis, Ray Charles, and Tina Turner.
