Tony Joe White on Elvis going "out there" singing his song, Polk Salad Annie

I became an Elvis fan when I was nine, and a fan of Tony Joe White when I was eighteen. So it was heaven, twenty or so years later, to sit and chat with Tony Joe about Elvis's "out there" live version of Polk Salad Annie and the sessions that led to Elvis recording other Tony Joe White songs such as For Ol' Times Sake and I've Got a Thing About You, Baby. A view from the inside!

Sad I just heard of his passing , what’s left in the works that’s good ? Great interview and as usual people were always in awe of Elvis

Though Tony Joe White was born in Louisiana, he lived in and around Corpus Christi, Texas for some time. I had the opportunity to see him live twice at a particular club in the early 70's. I remember him being humble and a great presence on stage. Love his voice, his songwriting, and his music. .........RIP, Swamp Fox.
