Isle of Wight Festival, Afton Down, Isle of Wight, Britain, 8-27-1970 to 8-30-1970 - 8-28-1970: Part 2: Tony Joe White

Next up from the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival is a set by Tony Joe White. This one is straightforward, as it just features his set and nothing else.

White is best known for his song "Polk Salad Annie," which was a Top Ten hit in the US in 1969. But he was a talented singer-songwriter who wrote hits for others, including "Rainy Night in Georgia" by Brook Benton and "Steamy Windows" by Tina Turner. He died in 2018.

This is his complete set. It was officially released in 2006, but only as part of a box set.

This album is 32 minutes long.

Note that I'm starting the track numbering here with 18 instead of 1. That's so you can put all the songs from the August 28, 1970 sets into one folder to make one continuous listen, if you so desire. I'll be doing the same with the August 29th and 30th sets, starting back with track 1 for each new day.
