The George Benson Sessions: The Making of Songs And Stories: Rainy Night In Georgia

NEA Jazz Master and 10X Grammy-winning legendary musician George Benson will release his new album on August 25th entitled Songs and Stories. The album is a collection of tunes penned by some of the most prolific and enduring songwriters of the last half-century. Some were written specifically for this new recording, such as Bill Withers (who came out of retirement to write A Telephone Call Away for George), Rod Temperton's Family Reunion and Lamont Doziers Living in High Definition; while others, including James Taylors Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight, Donny Hathaway's Someday Well All Be Free and Tony Joe White's Rainy Night in Georgia were hand-picked by Benson for their ability to convey simple but universal truths about the human experience.

Tony Joe White, gave birth to it, suckled it, put it to bed, and still does the most honest version of this song. Any discussion of the song that does not mention his name is just not cool.
