Tony Joe White wrote swamp rock the way other people write letters home. Born in Louisiana and recorded mostly in Nashville, his songs run on a wah-heavy guitar, a voice that never rises above a mutter and a sense of place so specific you can smell the water. 'Polk Salad Annie' is the one everybody knows, but the deeper cuts here are where the writing lives: character studies, small towns, bad decisions. Two discs for Rocktober 2026, exclusive to brick and mortar shops. Street date: October 23.
