New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Missing Piece Group) After more than fifty years of playing music, handfuls of chart topping singles, and collaborations with some of the most revered musicians of the century, Tony Joe White is set to release a brand new album, Hoodoo, out on September 17th via Yep-Roc.
Yesterday, Brian Mansfield of USA Today premiered the album's second track, "Holed Up," and said it "has the vintage swamp-rock sound that White made famous in the '60s and '70s." Check it out here: https://usat.ly/16bvzGy
The Los Angeles Times recently premiered the album's debut single and opening cut "The Gift," which you can find here: https://lat.ms/13A3kEt
Culled from an initial stack of roughly seventeen tunes, the nine songs that comprise Hoodoo come alive in the haunting atmosphere and intensity of the stripped-down recording process. Cut mostly live to tape—vocals and all-much of Hoodoo consists of first takes.
Tony Joe White is best know for his hits "Polk Salad Annie" and "Rainy Night In Georgia." Through the years, his songs have been recorded by everyone from Tina Turner to Elvis Presley to Ray Charles.
Track List:
1) The Gift
2) Holed Up
3) Who You Gonna Hoodoo Now?
4) 9 Foot Sack
5) Alligator, Mississippi
6) The Flood
7) Storm Comin'
8) Gypsy Epilogue
9) Sweet Tooth
A U.S. tour will follow the release of the album.
