Synopsis

Album Description
Digitally remastered four CD set containing all three of White's Monument Records albums in their entirety plus a slew of unreleased tracks, including ten 1969 Paris sessions and seven live performances from the Isle Of Wight. Recorded with such Muscle Shoals musicians as David Briggs, Norbert Putnam, and Jerry Carrigan, White's first album, 1969's Black And White, featured such originals as "Willie And Laura Mae Jones" and "Polk Salad Annie," along with such covers as Jimmy Webb's "Wichita Lineman." Released later that year, White's second album, ...Continued, featured the same Muscle Shoals players, along with Mike Utley, Tommy McClure, and Sammy Creason. Tony Joe came out in 1970, revealing an absence of the horns that had been so dominant on the previous records, and anchored by White's acoustic guitar. Following an electrifying performance at the legendary Isle Of Wight festival, White moved to Warner Bros. Records, ending this first chapter. Rhino. 2006.
 

CD Reviews

Finally A TJW Box Set !!
Rock N' Roll Boogaloo | Alcatraz | 12/15/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Granted there is more to Tony Joe White than is provided in this box set. But,if you are a fan of his older work then this is for you. There are several alternate versions , some good, some not so good. And of course there are some killer covers such as WHAT DOES IT TAKE, WICHITA LINEMAN, LITTLE GREEN APPLES. Don't forget Tony's original works such as Roosevelt and Ira Lee, Rainy Night in Georgia and of course Polk Salad Annie. This is a true gem and it's been a long time coming !!!!!!!!!"
Great collection - get it before it's gone

"This is one of those Rhino handmade releases, so grab it before it sells out. Nifty package, great sound (significantly better than previous versions of this material I've heard), and as the reviewer notes, a LOT of bonus stuff - singles, b-sides, alternate versions, unreleased studio and live stuff. If you're a Tony Joe fan, this is an indispensable set - these three albums are available elsewhere for less, but 'Swamp Music' offers better sound and lots of extras."
