I love Polk-salad Annie. My old band used to play that tune once in a while.

You need some Tony Joe White on your playlists. Polk Salad Annie is a great song but TJW has a lot of beautiful swamp blues and rockabilly tunes. This is one (but not the best quality)

Clapton, Knopfler and many others were influenced by TJW including Rick Miller of SCOTS in this great song - “got some Tony Joe White on my radio”
