Cafe du Nord says…

As with many American originals, Louisiana singer and swamp-rock king Tony Joe White is better known in Europe than in the States. White's journeyman career stretches back to "Polk Salad Annie," a 1969 hit later covered by Elvis. He's now touring behind Deep Cuts, an album that thickens up his bullfrog vocals and chunky guitar shuffles, and features deep-bottomed production reminiscent of Fat Possum's R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. White's own moves are sweet and sultry enough to make him a worthy descendant of Lightnin' Hopkins, and a welcome guest to the city he dubs "Soul Francisco" on the new record.
