Tony Joe White - The Heroines LP Orange Vinyl Due 2nd October

Tony Joe White, aka the Swamp Fox, a legend, has issued album after album of quality original material full of deep, dark, blues-flavored Florida vintage roots music. Heroines is no exception, but it is a record with a twist. Five of the record's 12 tracks are recorded with female vocalists in duet. They include the great Jessi Colter, Shelby Lynne, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, and Michelle White. "Can't Go Back Home" stars Lynne, "Closing in the Fire," is with Williams, "Playa del Carmen Night," is a duet between White and his daughter Michelle and "Wild Wolf Calling Me" features Harris in fine voice at her country gospel best. The rest of the cuts here, with White taking the vocals on his own, simmer, just below the boiling point, touching on everything from backwoods life, love, politics, and spirituality, to the chaos in a country where firearms do more talking than at any time since the Old West, as in "Chaos Boogie." Heroines is another winner in his catalog and we are very proud to present it now for the first time ever on vinyl.

The Heroines is available as limited numbered edition of 1500 copies on orange coloured vinyl and contains an insert.
