Self-styled “Swamp Fox” Tony Joe White serves up a real “barnburner” for the next Rhino Handmade exclusive with That On The Road Look, a previously unreleased 1971 live album.
Little is known about this once-rumored treasure, including the exact location where it was recorded, but one thing is certain – the album’s 12 mesmerizing songs find White locked in watertight with his longtime drummer Sammy Creason, keyboardist Michael Utley, and legendary bassist Donald “Duck” Dunn.
On That On The Road Look, Tony and the boys rip the roof off of wherever they are for more than an hour, mixing cuts from White’s 1971 Warner Bros. debut – “A Night In The Life Of A Swamp Fox” and “Traveling Bone” – with his earlier recordings for Monument Records – “Roosevelt And Ira Lee” and a 10-minute rave-up of White’s Top Ten hit “Polk Salad Annie.” The fiery set, which also spotlights White’s uncanny ability to make every song his own with a cover of T-Bone Walker’s “Stormy Monday,” is only available at Rhino.com. That On The Road Look ships late August, but you can pre-order it now.
