Oh my. Another sad loss. One of my faves. There's some really nice stuff with him and Shelby Lynne on YouTube. RIP.

I remember listening to "Polk Salad Annie" when it was an AM radio hit.

Amazing that you could hear something then that sounded so..authentic and real... on a medium that was derided as superficial.

Here he was on Dave Letterman a few years back. Dave's comment at the end is great.

RIP

Really great version a few years ago on Letterman.....I think Letterman's response to the song was liked by Tony Joe.......

Letterman show TJW with Foo Fighters

very sad news.
along with JJ Cale, they were the Masters of the laid back grooves.
I meet him in signing session about 15 years ago.
