Welcome
to the unofficial Tony Joe White web-site.
These pages are dedicated to the life and music of the famous swamp-rock singer and song writer.
The presented material was collected from various sources; most of it from editorials on record covers.
I have included every piece of information that I am aware of. Therefor if you miss something it's most likely because I didn't know about it.
Please send me your comments
about these pages and any additional information you might have.
Have fun!
August '96 - January '08, Martin Doppelbauer, Karlsruhe, Germany
P.S.: I receive a lot of mail messages asking where to buy a special
album. I'm really sorry folks, but I can't help you. TJW's albums are real
collector's items (except the CDs, of course) and not available in regular
shops any more. You should try second hand lp-stores. In fact that's where
I got most of my albums from. But it all depends on good luck.
"I'm almost like a lone wolf out there. I just play my guitar and
don't worry about it. They don't know if I'm black, white, country or rock."
