Tony Joe White - Homemade Ice Cream

On Homemade Ice Cream born-and-bred Louisiana native Tony Joe White shows he's comfortable with both the White southern gospel his musical family probably played and the blues of Jimmy Reed and Lightnin' Hopkins, two of his first inspirations.

White uses a quartet of musicians - guitarist Reggie Young, organist David Briggs, bassist Norbert Putnam and drummer Kenny Malone - that bring out the soulful strut and stomping blues of these songs. On No News is Good News, White's funked-up wah riffing, backed by Briggs' chunky organ, is reminiscent of another swamp-funk unit from the Louisiana, the Meters. Backwoods Preacher Man celebrates a gospel country preacher with greasy slide guitar and a heavy low-end. ~ Full Review at Dusted Magazine
