White has most recently recast a number of his classic songs on Deep
Cuts, definitively proving that time has no jurisdiction over funky.
Tony Joe cut the tracks with a rich palette of beats and loops,
utilizing both digital and live drums, strings, organs, and the
unmistakable timbre of his guitar. White’s timeworn baritone is
positively haunting, like a restless spirit conjured by the funk that
was always the core of his music. Deep Cuts not only updates a cache
of classic songs for a contemporary audience, it reframes them,
revisiting his timeless imagery in a new, modern context. With Deep
Cuts, Tony Joe himself reveals that there is still plenty to be
gleaned from his irresistible, timeless groove.
