Lee Tonya Biography Wikipedia
Although usually the work of this musician is attributed to SwAMP Blue, in fact, his tastes were more diverse, and he also worked with such styles as rock and roll, country end-westerne, funk, pop and rhythm-end-Blue. Tony Joe White, who later received the nickname "Swamp Fox", was born on July 23 in the town of OK GROV, Louisiana. His musical career began in the middle of X with performances in Texas clubs, and in M the artist moved to Nashville, where he concluded a contract with the company "Monument".
Already after the release of the first album, White burst into the charts and struck a hot ten story about the life of ordinary southern girls "Polk Salad Annie", which became the classic of Swamp. In M White conquered Europe with a pretty little thing Groupy Girl, and its overseas popularity was reinforced by the appearance at the legendary festival "Isle of Wight".
Her original version was on the Continbed disk, and later it was re-shut on everyone who was not lazy, and it actually turned into a popstard. At the beginning of X Tony, he went to work on "Warner Bros. At that time, the interest in White's work was mainly supported at the expense of the Cavers.
The second half of X and the beginning of X turned out to be sad for the musician: the soundtrack for the film "Catch My Soul" did not cause much enthusiasm, but the albums "Eyes" and "The Real THG", where he tried to cross the branded SWAMP with a fashionable disco, remained almost unnoticed, and only on the same pop -up "Dangerous" vapor The songs "The Lady in My Life" and "We Belong Together" were some success.
For six years about Tony, almost nothing was heard, and in M he surfaced on the triumphal album of Tina Turner "Foreign Affair", for which he wrote four things, including the hit "Steamy Windows". From this moment, the musician’s career was recovering, and soon his new Closer to the Truth disc appeared. The album, on which the author’s version of “Steamy Windows” was very popular, especially in Europe, and even more precisely, in France, where White toured in company with Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker.
The albums of that period contained a soft romantic blues rock, which was related to the musician with Chris Ri. In a similar style, “One Hot July” was made, which a couple of years after the European release was published both in the USA and after a summer break returned White at home to the major circle. Feeling a surge of strength, Tony decided to turn to the roots and recorded an acoustic plate with the symbolic name "The Begining".
The album saturated with the spirit of the Louisian swamps praised critics in all ways, and already in M the musician again stuck the guitar in the socket and issued the Snakey program, whose style was varied from the almost-winter energy of Feeling Snakey to the intelligent numbers of the All Those Tomorrips. Removing from the excessive overloads in the warm semi-acoustic sound of The Shine, three years later he returned with a fibbed “Hoodo”.
The retro collection of The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings came out in M, and the next year the freshness in the form of "Rain Crow" arrived. The son of the musician, Jodi, produced the new album, but the White style remained the same, without any fashionable injection. The disk came out in September GO, and after almost a month, White died of a heart attack. After his death, Jodi found in his father the father of various demosics, which he, with the help of the large fan of White Dan Auerbak, brought to mind and in M published on the disk "Smoke from the Chimney".
