Tony was an American Roots music treasure...kindred spirit...loved to fish as much as I do...took his time. He was an influence on Knopfler as well as JJ Cale....JJ Cale has the same vibe musically...warms my heart
He’s a very good man and he’s authentic, with no bells or whistles. And my god - his voice and guitar are in a category of their own. I’ve seen him in concert 3 times. What a legend. I’ve loved him for over 50 years
In 2010, I saw him at a Bar and Grill type restaurant in the rural area of Northern California at a place called Rancho Nicasio. It was a dinner type of a venue and my table was at the front about 15 feet away from him. He was awesome that night. There was a small dance floor and we danced literally 4 or 5 feet away from him and his band. He was very down to earth.
My teenage years listening to my bro's early Tony Joe LP's resulted in me seeing him in Napier NZ in 2009. I slipped back stage and he signed my Closer to the truth CD. I gave him a Gizzy gift, for a great night. RIP Tony Joe and many thanks.
Amen, huge fan of this man! Love all his music, his voice, the words, what he does with the guitar/harmonica. All started for me with Polk Salad Annie! So glad I explored to find these others!
There's a cold wind blowing Downtown tonight Oh, I'm all done Walking around, I don't feel right I'm so used to feeling warm Having you hanging on my arm I can't believe you just cut me loose You're gonna look good in blues They still got a cool band In the little club where we used to go But I don't feel the dance Tonight I'm just too low Oh, I gave it all I had You say "Baby, well that's too bad" But you'll have to pay the dues And you're gonna look good in blues Back in the real world No dreams no plans Keeping a low profile Just getting by the best I can But you can't kick a heart around And leave it in pieces on the ground Baby, it's gonna catch up with you And you'll look good in blues You're gonna look good in blues
I was in college when he released Polk Salad Annie which was a huge hit. Somehow he fell off my radar and I’m just re-discovering him now more than 50 years later. Wish I had seen him in person. What a talent. RIP TJW
... you do get that feeling, that he is a good man. that's what blues does, it carries your emotions, your personality across... that's why most amazing blues musicians are also amazing humans...
I've heard of Tony Joe White knew he wrote midnight in Georgia just found him on RUclips about a year ago think the guy is great wish I'd have found out about him earlier rest in peace Tony
Great musicians making Great Music. You can feel this a special session, even for these veterans. The drummer lets it shine through. There is no way I can hold back a warm smile!
One of the most talented player I've ever heard. Great writers as well. I miss him, his music told stories that a true music lover could relate too. O will truly miss Jim and his music..RIP TJW He was the same age as me.
One of the kindest men I ever knew! He Would call me at Capricorn and ask how my husband was doing overseas...and if his contracts were ready..lol! Wonderful kind man..I was shocked to hear of his death..I wish the best for his wife and children! Great person & musician!
I've got the DVD and this is a sensational performance.How many others could perform in such a limited style and get it so right.Great DVD with recording studio filming of some great TJ tracks with the Muscle Shoals band.
Was a TV Documentary made in Sweden or Norway and is not available for purchase. I got my copy from a guy in New Zealand but the format prevents me from making copies. I would if I could because it’s a tremendous watch. I have heard that it’s available on You Tube but haven’t seen it myself.”The Man From Down South”.
He is/was in a different league saw him in several very intimate venues and had the pleasure of saying hello. They just don’t make them like him any more. No more I can say.
To quote David Letterman after Tony Joe had performed with the Foo Fighters on Dave’s show: “If I was this guy, I’d just tell ALL of you to kiss my ass!”
Very fine music indeed. The snare is possibly a liiiitle bit strong in the mix at places, but who cares? Roger's mimics are priceless also... Sum total: absolutely unforgettable!
Learned about Tony Joe White when I was 19 years old. Ordered and played a lot of his music. Beautiful song writer guitar and harp player. Miss you Cajon man. Love your music. I turned a lot of people on to Tony Joe White.

Yes indeed!!!
Stumbled across Tony Joe twenty years ago, life changing to say the least
💖💖💖💖
@@roseblackmore2225 no
Saw him quite a few times and had the pleasure to meet him, a southern gentleman and a great talent. A real complete original.

One of the most under-rated blues guitar pickers, blues harp playing, and song writers there is.
He's not underrated..... he's not well known by the most of us. The few who do know it :)
kregg jorgenson amen brother
You got that right!
No flash, no showboating, no grandstanding, so I guess no audience.
YEP, HE GOT SOME FN DEEP DOWN FEELING...
WHEN YA GET ME IN DEEP FEEL MODE YA GOT IT!!!
Amen, huge fan of this man! Love all his music, his voice, the words, what he does with the guitar/harmonica. All started for me with Polk Salad Annie! So glad I explored to find these others!
Love this. ❤❤
So underrated, a real giant of the blues, killer voice and writing
RIP Tony Joe one of the best
RIP Tony! Thx for the music ….
Amen.
Wow! New to Tony Joe White’s music and what a find!
There's a cold wind blowing
Downtown tonight
Oh, I'm all done
Walking around, I don't feel right
I'm so used to feeling warm
Having you hanging on my arm
I can't believe you just cut me loose
You're gonna look good in blues
They still got a cool band
In the little club where we used to go
But I don't feel the dance
Tonight I'm just too low
Oh, I gave it all I had
You say "Baby, well that's too bad"
But you'll have to pay the dues
And you're gonna look good in blues
Back in the real world
No dreams no plans
Keeping a low profile
Just getting by the best I can
But you can't kick a heart around
And leave it in pieces on the ground
Baby, it's gonna catch up with you
And you'll look good in blues
You're gonna look good in blues
Gorgeous!
The most laid back of the true blues men now passed into legend. Happy to play with EVERYBODY! The swamps are a little empty now.
I was in college when he released Polk Salad Annie which was a huge hit. Somehow he fell off my radar and I’m just re-discovering him now more than 50 years later. Wish I had seen him in person. What a talent. RIP TJW
Lucky to have seen him live five or six times - such a talented guy - miss him so much and the wonderful sounds he created !
You are right Mark. A good feeling from a good man.
RIP TJW
A Good Man
I've been fortunate to record in that studio with David Hood, Donnie Fritts, and Spooner Oldham- RIP Donnie.
... you do get that feeling, that he is a good man. that's what blues does, it carries your emotions, your personality across... that's why most amazing blues musicians are also amazing humans...
I was lucky, I saw him once in Paris , few years ago.Wonderful !!
Different level stuff, to watch and listen to musicians playing at the top of their game is just magical.
Rest in peace brother thanks for your soul
This guy reminds me of the late John Martyn. RIP Tony & John 🍻
I've heard of Tony Joe White knew he wrote midnight in Georgia just found him on RUclips about a year ago think the guy is great wish I'd have found out about him earlier rest in peace Tony
....such damn good music....:)
Great musicians making Great Music.
You can feel this a special session, even for these veterans.
The drummer lets it shine through.
There is no way I can hold back a warm smile!
That’s Roger Hawkins who played on most of Wilson’s Pickett and Aretha’s biggest hits !
This man deserves legendary status
IMHO, one of the best ever in the blues.
This is a great late Friday night out driving on the highway song. Tony Joe is in a class by himself.
You were so smooth, you beautiful man. So much talent and skill. I just drift off listening.
I never listened about his music until before yesterday. But This is now really amazing.
There’s a lot more of it for you to pick up on.Magic guy.
Beautiful music!
Ai perfecta dreptate !sper că și alți români vor aprecia,
Very soulful & unmistakeably still Tony Joe White. Very soothing relaxing tones. Great!
Man, is this FUNKY! We need more music like this today...a LOT more!
Give me the names of those 56 who don’t appreciate this piece of magic.
Fuck them
They don’t like our music for the same reason we don’t like theirs. To each their own. I wonder if young listeners are too young to appreciate this?
Should have had way more attention!!!
Pure spellbinding magic
One of the most talented player I've ever heard. Great writers as well. I miss him, his music told stories that a true music lover could relate too. O will truly miss Jim and his music..RIP TJW He was the same age as me.
Love the minimalism of the song and performance, clean, clear, quietly powerful. I'm going to incorporate a little of this style into my own music.
loved him forever,,,great blues
So amazing, so easy going
not forced, DAMN!!!
Mark Knopfler say Tony is a good mann, and i say Tony and Mark are two good mann in this World
Killer blues ! From that place you can't explain
TOP QUALITY and FEELING !
One of the kindest men I ever knew! He
Would call me at Capricorn and ask how my husband was doing overseas...and if his contracts were ready..lol! Wonderful kind man..I was shocked to hear of his death..I wish the best for his wife and children! Great person & musician!
How touching.
Always loved 'Groupy Girl'
Just discovered TJW ... fascinating to listen and watch him play and sing ... RIP ... sorry I didn't discover his music a long time ago ..
David Hood on Bass. That is Muscle Shoals studio. I got in there once. You can feel it in there.
I've got the DVD and this is a sensational performance.How many others could perform in such a limited style and get it so right.Great DVD with recording studio filming of some great TJ tracks with the Muscle Shoals band.
Hello, what's the name of the DVD?
Was a TV Documentary made in Sweden or Norway and is not available for purchase. I got my copy from a guy in New Zealand but the format prevents me from making copies. I would if I could because it’s a tremendous watch. I have heard that it’s available on You Tube but haven’t seen it myself.”The Man From Down South”.
TONY JOE IS ONE OF GREAT BLUES ARTIST ON THE PLANET .
He did a show in the UK one time and Cozy Powell played drums for him.
Sad, he had the Motown sound and the blues down. soul man, and gone too soon.
What a song by the Swamp Fox, pure..authentic..gifted... lyrics that you can drape your memories on as u listen ..10.
Just a good guy, seen him 10 times in the Netherlands and I play the harps too
this is Sublime! love it.
Tony was the man. May he RIP
Excellent!!! Thank you...
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Tony bringt mich immer wieder in die 70er. Greatest.
He is/was in a different league saw him in several very intimate venues and had the pleasure of saying hello. They just don’t make them like him any more. No more I can say.
Brother Tony.
Tony Joe White with the Swampers. I could hear this for the rest of my life
Thats what i hered, whene i was hamburg!! Such a beautiful time!!!!
And so good to see some Roger and David footage
so sad that you let us alone now ! Great man
Effortlessly cool :-D
To quote David Letterman after Tony Joe had performed with the Foo Fighters on Dave’s show: “If I was this guy, I’d just tell ALL of you to kiss my ass!”
Amazing singer god bless you
Magnifique....You've given all you had !
Keep looking good, keep shining :-D
Uuhhhhuuuh! Bada$$ song, just like the man doin it!😘✌❤🎤🎸🎼🎵🔊
And that is the great Roger Hawkins on drums and David Hood on bass, some of Muscle Shoals finest ever.
Best movie of my life.rock and elizabeth should have had oscars.
R I P ... Listen to you every day .
Good ones always left out. Is who you know. Damn it
Певец чей голос узнаётся сразу. Сделал для себя его сборник, который всё время в машине.
Drummer is the double of a now departed friend Paul, wow felt real strange watching this but it's a cool clip I love the simplicity of the groove.
Thanks for the upload. Fantastic
Best friend ever
This great drummer has alot of mojo too !
I think it's Roger Hawkins, played on a ton of hits.
RIP dude 😢💖
Ich liebe seine Musik
Respect what he feels, I believe he's a wounded but he's healing is peaceful
trop good tony tu nous manqueras, we will miss you...
2021 best of the best

Nice.
This guy is so fucking smooth! RIP TONY JOE WHITE!
I like this song hell yeah
That’s what it’s all about y’all
Great
The drummer was from Muscle Shoals studio's rythm section. Roger Hawkins
The look on the drummer's face is priceless. As happy as a dog off a chain when he is playing that piece
I thought that was him...
Very fine music indeed.
The snare is possibly a liiiitle bit strong in the mix at places, but who cares?
Roger's mimics are priceless also...
Sum total: absolutely unforgettable!
