Sound of Vinyl

Tony Joe White's posthumous album, ‘Smoke from the Chimney’, brings to life previously unknown home recordings by the legendary songwriter and musician.

A pioneer of the Louisiana swamp rock sound, White's eclectic legacy has persevered through decades of influence, covers and popular culture. Starting with the album's genesis as an unforeseen trove of demos to the hands of producer Dan Auerbach and legendary session musicians, ‘Smoke from the Chimney’ captures Tony Joe White's signature style in its purest form and serves as a living testimony to one of the most gifted lyricists and storytellers music has ever known.
