White had a lot of commercial and critical success in the late 1960s and early 1970s. But he didn't have much success in the late 1970s and through most of the 1980s. Things started to turn around for him in 1989, due to his songwriting. Four of his songs were chosen for Tina Turner's 1989 album "Foreign Affair." Two of those were hits, "Steamy Windows" and "Undercover Agent for the Blues." (Both of those songs are performed here.) That gave his own music career a new lease on life, resulting in a new record contract. His 1991 album "Closer to the Truth" was mostly ignored in the U.S., but it sold pretty well in Europe and Australia. All the songs here are from that album, except for "Polk Salad Annie," which was a big hit for him in 1969.
The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.
This album is 29 minutes long.
