Product Description
One of the most distinctive and respected songwriters of the Deep South, Tony Joe White, gets raw and real on his new record “THE SHINE”, set for a September 28 release on his own Swamp Records. “THE SHINE” is a stripped-down collection of ten new White-penned songs that beautifully lays bare his rich, nuanced baritone, and distinctive brand of swampy southern soul.

While White’s critically acclaimed “Uncovered” featured a slew of special guests including Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Michael McDonald and J.J. Cale, “THE SHINE” is all about White. He produced and recorded the album himself in his home studio outside Nashville. From the first whispery notes of “Season Man”, in which he recounts an ominous dream, to the record’s closing track, “A Place to Watch the Sun Go Down”, “THE SHINE” is an album of understated beauty and beguiling mystery.

This dude is one smooth m-----f-----!

Now, if only they'd fill in the one gap in his discography on CD...his Casablanca disco album "The Real Thang", plus his 1979 Arista single.

On a related matter, I bought the Rhino Handmade live CD from 1971. IMHO, I don't think its worth the money. You can buy his Live From Austin TX from Amazon Marketplace much cheaper and it sounds similar.
