Louisiana native Tony Joe White brought a sound straight from the bayou to
the thriving late 60s soul scene, penning several signature cuts not only
for himself but other artists- namely "Rainy Night in Georgia" for Brook
Benton. One of those other big cuts, his immortal backwoods tale "Polk
Salad Annie," is featured on this 2nd podcast themed episode about first
names featured in song.
This is the 2nd official podcast episode of 2018 here on the Sound & Groove
Podcast. It's long overdue but no need to worry, as I've pledged another 4
episodes yet to come throughout this calendar year. This is the 2nd in a
2-part theme on songs featuring first names in the title. As in, songs that
mention a person's name like Steve or Martha or Rick or Emily (none of
which I've actually used! But you get the picture). So check out some of my
favourite tracks that fit with the motif I've come up with this time
around.
