One of those songs you can hear a million times and never gets old. From the class of '69.
His snake head guitar strap is just awesome!!
TONY JOE!!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! ELVIS LOVED IT TOO!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!! HOPE YOU AND THE KING ARE RIPPIN IT UP>>>UP THERE!!!!
Wow...what a version of that old tune that was on 810 whb when I was a kid....
That was superb!
I think Polk Salad Annie sort of got connected to Elvis and James Burton over time, and it's forgotten that this is not only TJWs song, but the soul in his performance is incredible.
Fantastic performance sure would have liked to have been there. Thanks Joe
Well that was truly a outstanding performance by TJW, gave me chills Thank you so much for constantly posting such amazing content Joe your the Greatest ! Thanks to all at the MHFM Long may you run.
@@lucasjames572 oh oh the grammar police
@@lucasjames572 "An" outstanding, not "a" outstanding.
You made four grammatical errors to his one.
Damn ! He s a swamper yeah ! Blowing mah mind ! How Kool he is !
This is so fabulous! He was such the originator! & that Strat sounded great through everything he ever played it through. Proof of “it’s all in the hands” One time I saw him turn around and get feed back on a small Fender tweed (maybe a Champ or Tremolux) and he held that note for at least 20 seconds!
I lost mind! Lol The day he died I was doing vocals for my long and drawn-out Americana album & on the title cut I purposely put a TJW (Vocal-Grunt) near the end of the lead in tribute. An old band mate Pete Wilcox once told me that “Tony Joe is the King of Gypsy Witch Swamp Music!” (Of course he was So Much More!) Pete wrote a song called “GYPSY WITCH”. I think it’s on UA-cam. Yeah this made my day! Love TJW! R.I.P. & thanks for posting this Joe! It’s goin straight to my Facebook Page!
Joe, 52 years ago, I attended the Summer Big Bam show in Montgomery Alabama (sponsored by WBAM, the Big Bam), where Tony Joe White was one of about 10 performers! Polk Salad Annie was an incredible hit in the Deep South! My friends and I were staying at the Travel Lodge across the street from the venue (Garrett Coliseum), and it just happened that Tony Joe White was staying at our motel! We couldn’t believe it, he hung out with us for a short while, it was an experience I’ve never forgotten! Thanks for sharing!💫
Great story Larry…Joe
Thanks Joe, Thank you TJW. Much Love to the MHOF.
Thanks Joe! One of my all time favorites.
I saw Tony in 1969 at The Texas International Music Festival when I was stationed at Fort Hood. In hindsight, it was a much better organized event than Woodstock.
Tony performed with only the backing of a drummer and rocked out. Now on my local radio they play his signature sing and it’s just one great song. It was just this year I learned he wrote “A Rainy Night In Georgia.” Now when I hear it, I can imagine him in a boxcar, keeping warm and playing..even if it’s not biographical!
Moreover, TJW also wrote one of THE greatest ballads of all time, namely the much covered "Rainy Night In Georgia".
Hi Lynda… yes he did and Brook Benton sang it great! Best, Joe
Excellent song and classic performer...Thanks as usual, Joe.
Brilliant Joe, thank you for posting. From Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks Robert.. best to all in Ireland…. Joe
Tony once said he performed with Booker T and the MG'S as his band at either one of those pop festivals in the late sixties, or a series of them. I don't remember exactly.
I think it was Atlanta, Texas, or Miami.
Damn, if only there was a recording. Tony mentioned it in passing in an interview I read, but that was pretty much all he said about it.
Wow, Dick Dale and Charlie Daniels up on the stage watching/listening!
Saw Dick Dale in a small club in Fairfax Ca. about 2004. After the show he signed the headstock of my very old Strat. While a gorgeous blonde was talking to him. What a showman!!
Thank you Fred. This tune is among the many you brought to our enjoyment.
Joe I have been swiping Mr. White's Strat' licks (and damn proud of it ) since 1969... and the best GD grunts in the business.. Thanks again Joe.
Thanks Blue…Joe
Ya Joe !!
72 and for the 1st time ever I’ve learned the title of the song. 57 years of Duh 🙄
I Miss Joe, He was a great Person, hope the MHoF&M is doing well,
Joel, thank you. My mom, Linda Chambers, is CEO and carrying on just as her and dad envisioned. If you haven’t been to the museum, I hope you can visit.
Best,
Britt
Tony Joe White is such an iconic singer-songwriter who was respected by his peers and his fans....he could play guitar, harmonica and sing (but, only when he wasn't playing harmonica!) and he was just so cool !
So true… great guy …. And yes … very cool. Best, Joe
Great performance, thanks for posting this Joe!
Great performance of a terrific tune by TJW. Thanks for posting this Joe & I hope that all is well with you!
Thanks again Steve….Joe

You too Phil….Joe
Wowwww!😮👏👏👏👏👏👏
As usual great stuff Joe.
Thanks Nick…Joe
I live in Florida, and there's a store nearby that sells 'Poke' Salad. I was thinking of the song 'Polk' Salad Annie when I saw the sign, but couldn't remember who sang the song. Shazam, now I see your video on UA-cam, and Lawdy, Lawdy there he is - Tony Joe White. Was that Charlie Daniels sitting close-by and tapping his toes to the song?
Yes Gary…. That was Charlie….Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum That's hilarious...I didn't even notice Mr. Daniels! About 25 years ago my oldies band was fortunate to be included in a number of local July 4th concerts. I think our second year...we were the 1st local act to play in the afternoon and were setting up while Leon Redbone played his set. Shortly after, a big fellow wearing Bermuda shorts, cowboy boots and a ball cap plunked a lawn chair down on the side of the stage near us for a ringside seat. Charlie Daniels was the headliner that night and he must have been a big fan because he sat and enjoyed the entire set. A wrap up note: We had a couple longtime musicians in our band...and a few of us who had plunked a fairly long time...but not played out in a band before. I had a theater background and was used to keeping things fairly organized...so had prepared set lists whenever we played. This drove our bass player a bit crazy because he argued it took away a lot of spontaneity. I agreed with that...but it also eliminated a lot of hemming and hawing and having huge gaps between songs. Anyway...we also closed out the night after the Charlie Daniels Band wrapped up. When I returned to the front of the stage, I looked down...and there was a Charlie Daniels set list taped to the stage, written large & neatly in black magic marker. It had everything they played including the encore! Vindication delivered by one of my favorites!
Just Great stuff
It’s Poke Salad Annie. NOT Polk Salad!
Ah, you people!!!
It’s “ Poke” salad. Goodness
Norman…. Look at the original 45 record label. Goodness:)
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I agree it was a typo. It has been corrected many times, except for the endearing labeling
Norman: From the way Tony was talking, it should have been called "Toke Salad".
@@mrmusic248 I’ll not argue a misprint on a record label. I’m trying to educate on the true plants name. I got some growing out by my round pen. It can be poisonous if not prepared right
I get off on it
