Tony Joe White - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: In Concert, London, Britain, 11-23-1970

At the end of 2024, I posted a short BBC concert by singer-songwriter Tony Joe White. I thought it was from 1974, because that's how it was labeled, but it turns out that was wrong. It actually was from 1970. The problem was that he appeared on the same BBC TV show, "In Concert," twice, in 1970 and 1974. So it was easy to mistake one for another. Now, at the end of 2025, I figured out the mistake because I found a copy of the 1974 concert. 

So I've completely deleted the old version I posted last year and I'm replacing it with this. It's actually the same music as before, but with changed title, cover art, and mp3 tags. I'll follow this by posting the 1974 concert.

White is probably best known for the song "Polk Salad Annie," which he wrote and which was a Top Ten hit in the U.S. in 1969. He also wrote "Rainy Night in Georgia," which was a Top Ten hit for Brook Benton in 1970, and was included in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the top 500 songs of all time. White's career faded into obscurity in the late 1970s, done in by disco like so many others at the time. But he had a revival in the 1990s, including writing some hits for Tina Turner.

Here's his Wikipedia entry if you want to know more:
