Tony Joe White
While there was a certain "mystique" surrounding White in the United States,
it was in Europe where he gained legendary status. In 1991 he signed with Remark
and debuted Closer To The Truth and spent the next two years touring Europe with
Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker, among others. He cut two more albums for Remark,
1993s Path Of A Decent Groove and '95s Lake Placid Blues, the latter garnering
the first of two nominations for "Best R & B Album" from the Nashville Music Awards,
(the second being, The Best Of Tony Joe White, a 1996 retrospective of his work
on Warner Bros.). French audiences eagerly embraced White as the 'Swamp Fox' and
in 1998, he became the subject of a French produced documentary: Tony Joe White-The
Man From Down South. In 1999, White went back to his roots and recorded
One Hot July, in the swamps of Louisiana. He then toured Australia and Europe
once again in support of the critically acclaimed album. In 2001, Audium and Koch
Entertainment released The Beginning - a stripped down in your face acoustic masterpiece
that received worldwide recognition and five star ratings in virtually every country.
