One of the most distinctive and respected songwriters of the Deep South, Tony Joe White, gets raw and real on his new record “THE SHINE”, set for a September 28 release on his own Swamp Records. “THE SHINE” is a stripped-down collection of ten new White-penned songs that beautifully lays bare his rich, nuanced baritone, and distinctive brand of swampy southern soul.

While White’s critically acclaimed “Uncovered” featured a slew of special guests including Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Michael McDonald and J.J. Cale, “THE SHINE” is all about White. He produced and recorded the album himself in his home studio outside Nashville. From the first whispery notes of “Season Man”, in which he recounts an ominous dream, to the record’s closing track, “A Place to Watch the Sun Go Down”, “THE SHINE” is an album of understated beauty and beguiling mystery.

Tony Joe White will tour extensively this fall. Tour dates will be announced soon.

Country singer Chris Young and jazz vocalist & guitarist George Benson are the latest to provide their own renditions of Tony Joe White’s “Rainy Night In Georgia.”

Coming on the heels of his self-titled debut, Young’s The Man I Want To Be features a one-take version of “Rainy Night In Georgia” at the suggestion of producer James Stroud. Also included on the release is a duet with Willie Nelson on the Waylon Jennings hit “Rose In Paradise.”

Ten-time Grammy winner Benson’s latest release Songs And Stories features covers of songs penned by some of his favorite songwriters including James Taylor, Smokey Robinson, Lamont Dozier, Tony Joe White, and Bill Withers.

Tony Joe White is happy to announce that a new live concert DVD is in the works and will be coming soon. The DVD was filmed at his November 6, 2008 performance at Paradiso in Amsterdam.

In addition to the upcoming DVD release, Tony Joe has been busy writing new songs for his next record, which is expected to drop in 2010. Stay tuned for more!
