Tony Joe White is one of those artists who are one of a kind. If you had never seen him, or a photo of him, you'd probably swear he was black (instead of White) by his accent and phraseology. He's always been hard to categorize -- not country, not R&B;, not rock, but perhaps some of all three. He took bits of several genres and fashioned something from them, truly different and unique.Sort of like Bill Monroe. Or William Shakespeare. Any Tony Joe White album is worth buying. This one from early in his career is one of the best. Once you're heard The Swamp Fox, you'll never be the same again.
