Though never a huge commercial success, Louisiana-born singer-songwriter/guitarist Tony Joe White is revered amongst musicians and blues and rock aficionados alike as the King of Swamp Rock. White's songs were made famous by others in the late 1960s and early '70s (Dusty Springfield, for one, turned in a stellar reading of "Willie and Laura Mae Jones"), but his own thick, husky drawl and languid, rootsy guitar playing has made him something of musician's musician, and endeared him to the likes of Lucinda Williams, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, and Bonnie Raitt among many others.
