20.01.2022 TONY JOE WHITE - POLK SALAD ANNIE (Swedish TV 1969) Celebrating the 50th ANNIVERSARY of the THIRD DAY of the ISLE OF WIGHT FESTIVAL 1970, (August 26th - 31st 19...70). The line-up for the third day of the festival included the marvellous and much-missed TONY JOE WHITE who performed his classic song POLK SALAD ANNIE. Unfortunately a recording of this performance is not available. Instead here's Tony on Swedish TV in 1969. I've upscaled and improved the saturation of the original film. Written and performed by Tony Joe White, POLK SALAD ANNIE described the lifestyle of a poor rural Southern girl and her family. Traditionally, the term to describe the type of food highlighted in the song is polk or poke sallet, a cooked greens dish made from pokeweed. The song vividly recreates the Southern roots of White's childhood and his music reflects this earthy rural background. As a child he listened not only to local bluesmen and country singers but also to the Cajun music of Louisiana, that rare hybrid of traditional musical styles introduced by French settlers at the turn of the century. Its 1969 single release peaked at Number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Elvis Presley's version also made the song popular. Tony Joe's roots were in the swamplands of Oak Grove, Louisiana, where he was born in 1943. Situated just west of the Mississippi River, it's a land of cottonfields, where pokeweed, or "poke" grows wild, and alligators lurk in moss-covered swamps. "I spent the first 18 years of my life down there", said White. "My folks raised cotton and corn. There were lotsa times when there weren't too much to eat, and I ain't ashamed to admit that we've often whipped up a mess of poke sallet. Tastes alright too a bit like spinach." "Sallet" is an old English word that means "cooked greens", not to be mistaken for "salad". While it may be that record companies labeled the song "salad", the dish in question was a "sallet" made of pokeweed. In 2014, Tony explained the thought process behind the writing of "Polk Salad Annie" and "Rainy Night in Georgia". "I heard "Ode to Billie Joe" on the radio and I thought, man, how real, because I am Billie Joe, I know that life." "I've been in the cotton fields. So I thought if I ever tried to write, I'm going to write about something I know about." "At that time I was doing a lot of Elvis and John Lee Hooker onstage with my drummer. No original songs and I hadn't really thought about it. But after I heard Bobbie Gentry I sat down and thought well I know about polk because I had ate a bunch of it and I knew about rainy nights because I spent a lot of rainy nights in Marietta, Georgia." "So I was real lucky with my first tries to write something that was not only real and hit pretty close to the bone, but lasted that long. So it was kind of a guide for me then on through life to always try to write what I know about." The single, released in 1969 by Monument Records, had been out nine months before it finally charted, and had been written off by Monument as a failure. Said White: "They had done given up on it, but we kept getting all these people in Texas coming to the clubs and buying the record. So we would send up to Nashville saying, 'Send us a thousand more this week.' They would send us these 'Do Not Sell' examples, so we would have to sit down and mark out the 'Do Not Sell' and then send them to the record stores. All these stores in South Texas kept calling our house saying, 'We need more.' So we just kept hanging on. And finally a guy in L.A. picked it up and got it across. Otherwise, 'Poke' could have been lost forever." Hello, and a warm welcome to everyone who has joined COLOURING THE PAST. The page is my attempt to add a little colour to the cheeks of the past. It's not intended to offer anything 'better' than the original black & white footage; just a different take. Running the page is a one-man operation. I write and research the articles, and edit the videos which involves several hours of work - upscaling, colourising and tweaking in various software.

15.01.2022 Regardless of what kind of music you like, the Kiseki Blue NS will handle it with an ease not often found at this price level. My formal conclusion can only b...e that the Kiseki range, brought back to life in an expanding market for vinyl and turntables, is a great addition to that same market. After this cartridge had seen enough record sides to be fully run in and expose all its capabilities it became harder and harder to send it back to Durob Audio. Firmly recommended without any hesitation. -
