“Heroines is another winner in the Swamp Fox catalog that once more proves not only is he a vital artist 35 years after his first big hit, but one whose consistency is remarkable and unsullied.” –All Music GuideAs he has aged past his rockin 1969 bayou hit Polk Salad Annie Tony Joe White aka The Swamp Fox has become a lover: as laid back as J. J. Cale but with a brighter voice, a songwriter in the vein of Guy Clark but without the angst. Throughout the ‘70s and '80s Tony Joe White toured with some of the biggest artists of the decade including Credence Clearwater Revival and James Taylor. The 1990s began with an explosion of activity for White as superstar Tina Turner recorded for her multi-platinum selling Foreign Affairs album. Tonight, anyone who is still "Searching For Tony Joe" as witnessed by the award-winning documentary of the same name, can find the self-proclaimed lone wolf at Joe’s Pub singing songs from his latest release On The Heroines which features performances by Shelby Lynne, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, and Jessie Colter among others.
