Tony Joe White: The Song that Started It All For Me. Lightin' Hopkins, Baby Please Don't Go. A Podcast Single
If my full interviews are like albums then look upon this as a single! For nearly a decade at the start of the 21st century, I interviewed many of the most famous musicians in the world, for a radio series called Under The Influence. Taking my cue from the fact that hearing two particular Elvis songs when I was a child - I tell that tale in the intro to the podcast - changed my life, changed it utterly, I always kicked off each show by asking a musician if she or he had a similar memory that maybe led to an epiphany and to them wanting to make music. So, now, alongside my uploading already four of the full shows - Christy Moore, Elvis Costello, Micky Dolenz, and the other Joe Jackson- I have decided to "release" these "singles" which focus on the song that became a clarion call of sorts to the musician in question. Here Tony Joe White talks about Lightnin' Hopkins' Baby Please Don't Go, and, to kick off tells us what Polk Salad really is and that it should not be smoked!
