This show is such a classic that it was recorded in December 1980, even before the signature Austin skyline was introduced as the Austin City Limits backdrop in 1981. Even then nobody quite knew what to call the music of Tony Joe White- blues, country or "Stompin' swamp music," which probably describes it best. Growing up in Goodwill, Louisiana probably had a lot to do with it. Sure, he had a #1 hit with "Polk Salad Annie," and he's had over 150 of his songs covered by artists ranging from Elvis to Ray Charles, but nobody does Tony Joe better than Tony Joe himself. - Hudba
Tony Joe White sat in with my band in Memphis in 1976 and sang Polk Salad Annie. (it was a regular song on my play list)
When it got to the part during the talking intro where he said "I Said POLK......SALAD" my bass player and I played that guitar lick powerfully and in unison, and Tony Joe yelled "YEAH"!
After the set he told us that he had been on the road with bands that didn't play the lick, and he was very pleased with us for remembering it.
It was a great night in Memphis!
This song only proves that Tony Joe White is one of those great American originals with a sound that is simply "too damn good" to ever get played on the radio in a world full of cookie-cutter clones and puppets in the top 40.!!!!!!!!
not familiar with Polk salad Annie.. Rainy Night In Georgia.. Backwoods Preacher Man ? Home made Icrecream is one album I always heard and now own.. perfect mellow background soulful blues countryish tunes to play
This guy has really got the beat,Don't know why I never heard of him until recently he is amazing.
One of the great, great under-appreciated American originals, Tony Joe White was a magnificent songwriter and musician of the top drawer, A-1 type caliber!
Just think about it - over 31 years ago this ACL concert was so far ahead of its time, it's shocking that TJW was only known by the general public for the "Polk Salad Annie" song.
So many people are so unaware of all of the monster hits by other artists like Elvis Presley, Tina Turner, Dusty Springfield, Brook Benton, Waylon Jennings, the angelic voiced Emmy Lou Harris, John Anderson, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson to name just some of the well-known artists that thought TJW was the real deal!
When Tina Turner met TJW, after he wrote 2 huge hits just for her, "Steamy Windows" and "Undercover Agent for the Blues", she said she was shocked that he was a white dude and not a songwriter of color!
R.I.P. to one of America's best,
We miss ya. Tony!
I’ve been following him and his career from the beginning. So underrated. Deserved far more recognition than most crap promoted on top 40 radio.
Let's give some credit to the Drummer , he is spot on, the timing is what makes this an Epic Performance. IMO
He has a unique style and a great way of presenting it. I had the privilege of seeing him in Perth Western Australia. Still remember the concert and realised how good this guy was. Thanks for the music man!!
Did you ever go to your friends house, where the food just ain't no good? I mean the macaroni's soggy. The peas are mush and the chicken tastes like wood. Awwww Yeahhh. Back when rap was fun, funky and funny. Can't believe I never came across Tony Joe White til seeing old videos on CZcams this year. Love this Stuff. If Elvis ever walked into the swamp - he would have come out Tony Joe White.
Friend of mine saw TJW in Houston 20 years ago. All he had for a band was a drummer. Said it was the best show he ever saw.
This is great rhythm guitar. A lot of rock artists tried to mimic the 'disco sound' of the late 70s but it always sounded forced, but TJW is really feeling the funk here. You can tell he was actually loving the groove, not just pretending.
I love his music
Damn that tone. Damn that story telling.Damn that groove. Damn that band being tight as F. Funk yeah!
This is cool in any decade...loving this and I have watched it 50 times...catchy and not outdated!!
TJW ... the voice, the guitar playing ... it's everything. And not to forget ... the harmonica!
A real underrated talent & still makes me jam out everytime I hear him sing. Rest In Peace Tony Joe White
Loved his voice. The ladies loved him too
Tony Joe White, man-o-man. There are a lot of comments made, some touching on his guitar playing and perhaps I missed it, but was (just died -R.I.P.) a prolific songwriter. Aside from one of his biggest hits ("Poke Salad Annie"), he wrote, "Rainy Night In Georgia." Eric Clapton once wanted to play with him and did. R.I.P.
RIP Tony, Such a cool and great artist that will never be forgotten.
He was handsome and very talented . I actually baby sat for him a couple times
Wouldn't you have loved to been a friend of this cool dude!!!
Just discovered TJW.......man, I'm gonna be playing him a LOT. Timeless
Tony has amazing timing and guitar skills!!
I just happened to hit on this. I've never heard of this guy but I think I'll start listening to him. this song makes a guy move, I like it.
its called 70/80's swamp blues but the same effect comes from almost any funk or soul music from the golden years
TONY,S MUSIC HAS HAD MY FOOT STOMPING FOR YEARS SINCE THE FIRST NIGHT I HEARD HIM ON RADIO 1
TJ always has a consistant bluesy voice and great guitar/harmonica. Simple but so genuine. His voice has a great rythm and doesn't need all the electronics.
Oooooooooooooh, he's soooooooooo cooooooool!!!!!! Been listenin' to and lovin' Tony Joe's music since '69!! He knows how to rock the hall!!
YEAH
Hall of Famer fo sho! he lost some popularity while disco was in but stormed right back with the Steamy Windows !
He sure did. Back in Corpus watching him and drinking a salty dog .
This guy's great! I remember "Polk Salad Annie" from way back. Had no idea he could play guitar like this. Nice and funky.
thought exact the same , dude
The Foo Fighters brought me here. And I love it!
Me, too! Saw the Nashville episode and fell in love with this guy!
Haha, same here
***** and me
Paul Mckeen Yep.
ME TOO!!!!!
Doesn't get any better than the swamp rock king!
Forgotten LEGEND
Pretty good , never heard of that group
One of the nicest kindest person I ever worked with! AT capricorn!Capricorn!! HE IS SORELY MISSED!!!
I saw Tony Joe in Toronto back in '69...at a 12 hour long music festival featuring almost any living and breathing popular artist of the day...almost...seriously...(I hadn't even ever heard of him...) and his performance was one of my favorite that day. I'm talking John Lennon, Jim Morrison, and many...more artists that performed there...Poke Salad Annie is forever blazed in my memory bank.
Great job. Tony always knows when to play the harmonica. I think he is great and the band.
63 years old and this makes me want to learn guitar!
Never too late. I started at age 10, now I am 47.
GO Learn James! An amazing experience!
Back in 1983 I dated a dj and he'd dedicate this one for me on the air. Fun! I was 20 then.
been a fan since the Polk salad annie days
SWAMP RAP QUESTO PEZZO È QUALCOSA DI BELLO NON MI STANCO MAI DI VEDERLO E ASCOLTARLO , COINVOLGENTE DI UNA BRAVURA CHE PIÙ DI COSÌ NON SI PUÒ E QUESTO RENDE ANCORA PIÙ INCREDIBILE CHE NON SIA PIÙ IN QUESTA DIMENSIONE! UNA CAREZZA SULL' ANIMA TUA!
Just discovered tony yesterday. Brilliant!!
With mud flaps! !!!!! Genius mr white!!I salute you!!!
TJW I had never laid eyes on this Swamp Rap either, but loved all his other well known stuff , this vid Live from Austin Texas is Something special for all those who love this sound. TJ is the man......
Dam only just came across him brilliant!!
"...with mud flaps". Classic. I love it.
I just say RESPECT mister Tony. I love his music.
Great tune!!!!!!!! Audio and video were excellent!!
If there is a cooler rap song than this baby, I'll give a piece of my arm and half my leg! TONY JOE FOREVER! THE REAL DAMN DEAL!
Great performer. Another Good Ole Boy from the South.
loved this guy since his "Polk salad" days
have never seen anyone blending harmonica into music this awesome!
TJW's music is pretty unique, keeps walking on edge of blues and rock'n'roll with special care.
listening to his best albums "home made ice creams" and "real thang" always makes me feel good bout everything,
hes truly a legend
Listen to some Rory Gallagher he covered tjw as the crow flies.
If you like this click on "Rainy Night In Georgia". Which he wrote. It is a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. I have been listening to him for years but had never seen a picture of him. was surprised to see he was white.
I saw Tony Joe many years ago in West Palm Beach Fla, what a show!!!
You know your music!!!He's so underrated.
Tony Joe White, the man that taught Mark Knopfler how to play a guitar.
That is true!

Great song and voice!!!!
This one gets an all around Kick Ass....!!!!
Tony Joe White. Lord have mercy why didn't this man take off like a rocket. I love Rory Gallaghers version of "As the Crow Flies" on Irish Tour '74.
Tony Joe also happens to be something no one
else has mentioned. He's a wonderful person.
One of the most down to earth people you could ever deal with. South France? Probably but he also owns a place or two in the Hills of Tennessee.
How the hell can this be this funky?
I just found him too December 2012 . I would move to the swamps just to be near and listen to his genious.
I'll give my right arm if this isn't the coolest damn rap song ever made....done by a country boy from Louisiana! Have you ever heard a more infectious beat and groove than this!
This song only proves that Tony Joe White is one of those great American originals with a sound that is simply "too damn good" to ever get played on the radio in a world full of cookie-cutter clones and puppets in the top 40.
Wow!..haven't heard wah-wah pedal blues like that since Jimi..Tony is great.
There is a word for this......GREASY....Very GREASY. It's so funky, I love Tony Joe.
this dude rocks....would like to see him in person sometime. He jams😎
now that is southern swamp soul plain and simple
Okay guys! I just found this guy and I LOVE him! I was looking for the original 'Rainy Night In Georgia' believing it was a Ray Charles song or ??. I found Tony Joe singing it on a Dutch television show. Imagine me!? I have now been turned on to so many of his songs on CZcams. My goodness what a man! He can play and Mr. Carlton 'Achoba' Sonnier, you Sir, are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT..."The 'Blues' Tony Joe style, has no equal"!
Ain't nobody got any thing on Tony Joe.Dang it that is good!
Finally got Me a real Stray. ..I aspire to this Country Disco Funk
Like his loosiana accent. A real Good Ole Boy.
Don't mess with my dip
Hell yea!!! Now that is partying music like it was in my day!!!
love the guitar work in this one
This is the best dvd I have ever seen,Sure do love this man's music.All of the songs on it are good.But this song is so original it is my favorite.
One of the biggest musician of all time..

Life goals- become that bass player
Fun to see that Tony is still alive and well - just reminising about polk salad annie. :)
Please it=poke sallit
I like his music he has such a deep voice it sounds so good I hate he is gone love the mud flaps
..... with mudflaps...
So great still !
@KingscribThanks for the reply...I remember laying on the grass at Varsity Stadium during that concert, and watching "missiles" of food and garbage projecting through the air overhead like fireworks, while listening to some of the greatest classic rock bands ever....they called it a "revival" then...there is sure one needed today!!
Shortly after that I joined the 8 pce band "Breakwater" as keyboard player and we enjoyed a couple of years of fame throughout Toronto's club circuit.
MrRapid tells it like it is.....this is a priceless take on rap music that beats the hell out of anything I've heard from Snoop Dogg and the other gangstas for sure.
Tony Joe is the coolest white boy to ever do a rap tune for sure....
ADOROOOOO. GRAZIE PER CIÒ CHE CI HAI DONATO MOSTRO SACROOOOO!
solid and real. Awesome..!!
Let's have Fun again, in this kind of Rap I trust. Thanks.
