"The term Swamp Rock was invented for albums like this. ...Continued is Tony Joe White's second album released in 1969. Tony Joe White not only possesses an original, strong, intoxicating voice, he's a blistering singer-songwriter and musician with one foot in the blues and the other in the swamp, laying out one luscious number after another that will reach out and knock you over. Tony Joe White is a musician with an enormous fanbase among musicians of many different genres. This album features the single 'Roosevelt And Ira Lee' and his evergreen 'Rainy Night In Georgia', one of the most covered songs ever (a.o. by Ray Charles, Otis Rush, Randy Crawford, John Holt, The Gladiators). Including two bonus tracks."

"Tony Joe White was an influential musician in the '60s and '70s swamp rock scene. As one of the creators of this sound he recorded different hit songs, like 'Rainy Night In Georgia' and 'Polk Salad Annie'. The exclusive 2LP Collected title covers his music from the '60s until the '00s, including duets with different artists. After Tony signed his first contract in 1967 he recorded multiple singles without success. In 1969 'Polk Salad Annie' charted in the U.S., reaching number 8. He recorded multiple albums in the late '60s early '70s. As he became more popular other musicians started covering his songs, like Dusty Springfield's 'Willie and Laura Mae Jones' and Brook Benton's 'Rainy Night in Georgia'. Both songs charted in the cover versions and made him a well-known artist. During the '90s and '00s he recorded more albums and singles, including classics like 'Ain't Going Down This Time' and '(You're Gonna) Look Good In Blues'. All his hits, fan favorites and unknown gems are included on this fantastic 2LP album. Limited edition of 2000 copies on red vinyl. Includes liner notes, 180 gram vinyl, gatefold sleeve."
