A good ole Louisiana boy. He played the Baton Rouge Blues Festival a few years ago.
Best known for Polk Salad, but also penned a lot of songs for other artists, most notably Brook Benton's A Rainy Night in Georgia.

So this is the guy who penned down Polk Salad Annie??

I know Elvis did a lót of covers, but I had no idea that this song was from Tony Joe White, nice to finally watch the original! :)

Thanks Willem!
