Produced by Billy Swan
Recorded at Monument Studios, Nashville / Lyn-Lou Studios, Memphis 1969
This album was re-released on bootleg-CD by Movieplay/Intermusic from Portugal in 1993 with a different cover and another title (Roosevelt And Ira Lee).
In 1969, Tony Joe White from Louisiana had a U.S. Top 10 hit with his classic swamp rock song "Polk Salad Annie," followed in 1970, by Brook Benton’s soulful rendition of White's timeless "Rainy Night In Georgia."
In late September 1973, White was recruited by producer Huey P. Meaux to sit in on the legendary Memphis sessions that became the landmark Southern Roots album of Jerry Lee Lewis.
By all accounts, these sessions were a three day, around the clock party, which not only reunited the original MGs (Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn and Al Jackson Jr. of Booker T. and the MGs fame) for the first time in three years, they also featured rockabilly icon Carl Perkins, Mark Lindsay (of Paul Revere and the Raiders), and Wayne Jackson and The Memphis Horns.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s White toured in support of artists including Creedence Clearwater Revival and James Taylor. In the 1990s Tina Turner recorded four of his songs for her multi-platinum selling album Foreign Affairs, including the world-wide hit "Steamy Windows". With the advent of that project, White formed an alliance with Turner's manager, Roger Davies and his career began to soar.
