''Enjoy Your Day'' Buy Album ''Closer to the Truth'' ➥https://t.ly/AZ1XG by Tony Joe White, July 4, 1991, Great album with a flow to it and without one dull moment. Tony succeeds at bringing his Swamp Rock into the 90s. Imagine Chris Isaak was brought up in the South and it would sound something like this... About, Tony Joe WhiteHe was the youngest of seven children who grew up working on a cotton farm. His family would sit around the campfire and play songs at night, a tradition that stayed with Tony Joe throughout his entire life. He first began performing music at school dances, and after graduating from high school he began performing at clubs in Kingsville and Corpus Christi, Texas. While cutting his teeth on the club circuit, he met his wife Leann, who encouraged him to write his own songs and that’s when everything changed. In 1967, White traveled to Nashville with nothing but a guitar and a suitcase. As luck would have it, he was able to get in the door of Bob Beckham’s office, a powerful music publisher who owned Combine Music, and he was instantly captivated by White’s look, sound and charisma. The music industry at that time had never seen someone who could cross over so many musical genres.
Things took off in 1969, when ‘Polk Salad Annie’ started climbing the charts and reached 8. On the heels of the release of his first album, ‘Black & White’, White began touring with Sly & the Family Stone, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Steppenwolf and played many huge festivals around the world including the Isle of Wight and the Texas International Pop Festival. Usually accompanied by just a drummer, White established himself as an enigmatic performer and guitar player. His career as being an A-list songwriter also took shape during this era as Brook Benton’s version of White’s song ‘Rainy Night in Georgia’ his 2 on the charts and Dusty Springfield had a hit with his song ‘Willie and Laura Mae Jones’.
White died suddenly of a heart attack on October 24th, 2018. He was a man who was revered as an original by everyone in the music industry. A true legend who treated music with respect and always followed his heart. MORE ➥http://www.tonyjoewhite.com/
Lyrics: Ain't Going Down This Time
I've been laying low
Living in the shadows
Spending time alone
Conversations with the wall
Hanging on
I'm just trying to matter
And I remain
Trying to make some sense of it all
I've been here before I'm familiar with the pain
But I ain't running no more there's one thing changed
Ain't going down this time
This time I ain't going down
Like an undertow
I feel the promise of the nighttime
But I've been down that road
And my search came to an end
I hit the motherload
Enough blues for a lifetime
Now I'm digging deep inside
Trying to find my way back again
You know you've entered the danger zone
When you look in the eyes and there's no one home
Ain't going down this time
This time I ain't going down
Deep in the night
I miss a woman's touch
The fire burns strong
And I'm drawn to the flame
But I pay the price
When I get caught up in the heartbeat
And passion flows
Unrestrained
No one left to blame I'm faced with the truth
And it's all too plain when there's nothing left to lose
Ain't going down this time
This time I ain't goin
