You're gonna look good in blues - Tony Joe White

[CallMeMister99]

I hear a voice steeped with the best of Tom Jones and Chris Rea, but with the sense to back off and almost whisper at times. The guitar work is so natural, and full of character. Exactly where Blues guitar should take you. He doesn't try too hard, it comes easy - I wish it did for me!

Thanks for posting this.

Im wondering where Mark Knopfler got his sound for Dire Straits, could it be this guy? TJW is a legend

[charlyblues]

this guy has soul and blues in his bloodstream

[blatman11]

I hear something new in this TJW song everytime I listen to it...one of his best



[roanoke703]

 I had that LP (with this picture on it) . It had a song on it called The Change which is still one of my fave tunes. I do not remember this one though. It's pure Tony alright.

[mom2smooth]

[Skipjack1965]

Oh man, forgot how GOOD this guy is. Thanks for bring his music back.

This song was generated by a jingle, Tony Joe White and Neal Selman wrote for Levis 501 jeans in 1986.

such a lovely song

[toyotaphil54]

Where have I been? Thought Tony was a one-hit-wonder! (Polk Salad Annie) BOY, was I wrong! Coming to party 40 years late, but better late than never. What fantastic songs and an awesome voice!

[royser1]

@toyotaphil54 same as you. First heard of him in 1974 through Rory Gallagher when he did When the Crow flies. But until last week I never heard Tony Joe. What a pleasure this has been.

[toyotaphil54]

Yeah, thanks! Tony has got to be one of the most underrated artists ever, IMHO. I feel a bit like Rip VanWinkle just waking up. :)

[bohonk123]

great voice

[jqmhz]

You're gonna look good in blues

[paulwiller2007]

Fantastic sound and very hot voice. Great Tony Joe

[jorvelort]

Superb!! Tony Joe White is a very special artist.

[cubi1604]

I love this song so much, real Blues.

[petriokas]

Were at his concert in Oslo in September. He was looking quite feed up and tired. I prefer to remember him from his earlier days. Large parts of his music is just fantastic! This song is his best in my opinion!!! Go TJW:-)

[bl4ckc4tb0nes]

If you guys like this type of sound check out crhis rea

[MauriceFlower]

I agree. But I think Tony Joe White is better.

[jamesjones950]

who do you think chris rea copied in the first place? TJW invented this style

[crazylazynhazy101]

What a terrific perfomer TJW is. There is no such thing as a bad Tony Joe White song.

[PED51]

This is very similar to Chris Rea song. His voice and guitar style is almost the same. Very nice though.

[thruid3]

WOW ! I heard the last bit of this tune in a bar on a canal in Amsterdam when I was on honeymoon with my wife 15 yrs ago. I have been trying to figure out since then what the name of it was, I stumbled onto it yesterday, thx You Tube.

This Music is chilling at its Best.One Love

[MauriceFlower]

I fully agree!

[xwtfdji]

Folks - I've been into Tony Joe for 39 years and play his music all the time,even after all that time.Sometimes his older stuff,sometimes his newer stuff,but you always get quality,originality and so different,individual,music.Try his web site and listen to some of his older stuff and you'll be amazed as to why he's not one of the biggest artists around.He's even better live.Sings anything the audience wants.He's in London in September.

[eliud82]

wow, awsome song! I've never heard music like this before! I know I am tried of what's going on musically and i've been looking for something good and different and I think I found it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing. This is a great way for people to hear artists they've been missing out on. What a great tune.

[c1wang]

I am glad that you appreciate it too. :)

[royser1]

@cashopa Marvellous to know that I am not alone in missing out on this superb artist over the last 30 years. I love his music and lyrics.

[gevalia51]

This song is from his album, "Closer to the truth", I also love this song, that album is problaby the one I played most

[kamckenzie]

Thank you for your response. I'll see what I can find.

[kamckenzie]

I hadn't heard this song either and it's awesome. Is this on one of his CDs? Which one?  God, he is so great!!

[c1wang]

It is in a compilation CD, by Philips Records, South Africa. I could not find it anymore. -Wendy

[drew4201975]

I knew he was a great song writer but I never heard this song. It just proves what I always thought. This man can write the most beautiful insightfull songs
