| | Album notes | Personnel: Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler (vocals, guitar); J.J. Cale, Michael McDonald, Waylon Jennings. The King of Swamp Rock, Louisiana-born singer/guitarist Tony Joe White, released the 10-song UNCOVERED in 2006. Although less star-studded than 2004's THE HEROINES, the album finds White once again trading confidently in the thick, hazy, blues-tinged style that helped define the genre of swamp rock. White isn't quite as fiery here as he was in the days of "Polk Salad Annie" and "Willie and Laura Mae Jones," but his bayou drawl--which is just that much more, well, swampy--and his slow-burn guitar playing nicely evoke steamy Louisiana nights. They combine to create a musical gris-gris all Tony Joe's own.
| | Editorial reviews | White's lyrical vision remains as sharp as a cottonmouth's fang, and he can still pack more emotional wallop into a whisper than a lot of cowpunk pretenders can summon... No Depression
[The] high-profile guests will hopefully help bring some attention to his brand of simmering blues. Dirty Linen
4 stars out of 5 -- That voice, along with the gritty material and the redneck noir settings, make for an extended-release musical narcotic. Uncut
