AllMusic Review 

https://www.allmusic.com/album/tony-joe-white-mw0000219263

by Bryan Thomas 

Tony Joe White's self-titled third album, Tony Joe White, finds the self-proclaimed swamp fox tempering his bluesy swamp rockers with a handful of introspective, soul-dripping ballads and introducing horn and string arrangements for the first time. The album -- White's 1971 debut for Warner Bros. -- was recorded over a two-week period in December 1970, in two different Memphis studios (one was Ardent Studios, where Big Star later recorded their influential power pop albums). His producer was none other than London-born Peter Asher, who had just produced James Taylor's early hits for the label (he would continue to produce hits for Taylor and Linda Ronstadt on his way to becoming one of the most successful producers of the '70s). One can surmise that Warner Bros. may have put White and Asher together as a way for the producer to work his magic with an artist who had much promise. White had already scored big with 1969's "Polk Salad Annie" for Monument, and he was having success as a songwriter too: "Rainy Night in Georgia" was a huge hit for Brook Benton in 1970. As you might expect, there aren't really too many surprises here, despite the addition of the Memphis Horns and other Muscle Shoals sessioners. The songs are fairly standard and straightforward, nothing too out of place or experimental, and White's husky southern warble remains the album's key focus. Many of the songs will remind the listener just how turbulent the cultural climate of the late '60s and early '70s was in the U.S. White's soulful southern-tinged spoken drawl introduces "The Change" (as in a "change is gonna come"), then a potent theme and oft-spoke clarion call that, indeed, the times they were a changin'. "Black Panther Swamps" and "I Just Walked Away" (the album's first single) are also successful at what they attempt. Meanwhile, over on the more sentimental side, "The Daddy" concerns itself with the generation gap between father and son, and mentions the son cutting his long hair ("a little respect will never hurt you"). The mawkish "Five Summers for Jimmy" will appeal to fans who liked Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey." On a more positive note, "A Night in the Life of a Swamp Fox" was White's somewhat-frustrating look at what was going on in his life, playing his sole hit for fans but wanting something more out of his career. Unfortunately, this album never did bring him the success he craved, although it deserves another listen. In 2002, Tony Joe White was reissued for the first time in the U.S. on CD by the Sepia Tone label.

Review by Bruce Eder, 

Allmusic.com

Tony Joe White's second Warner Bros. album is an awesome, exquisite musical jewel and a departure from most of the attributes for which he is best known, from songs like "Polk Salad Annie." Acoustic textured for much of its length and built on a close, intimate sound overall, The Train I'm On is permeated with the dark side of White's usual swamp rock sound, filled with songs about unsettled loves and lives, and men caught amid insoluble situations. Betraying surprising vulnerability for much of its length, even on songs like "If I Ever Saw a Good Thing" and "300 Pounds of Hongry" (among the few full band numbers here, with a gorgeous sax solo by Charles Chalmers on the former), he shows off an emotional complexity that wasn't always obvious on his earlier work, only really cutting loose boldly on "Even Trolls Love Rock and Roll" and a tiny handful of other cuts. The rest is dark, pensive, soulful bluesy rock, highlighted by some bristling acoustic guitar work (check out "As the Crow Flies") and superb singing throughout ("The Migrant" is worth the price of admission by itself).

AllMusic

by Mark Deming

   Cuando el definitivamente rockero de pantano Tony Joe White firmó con Warner Bros. en 1971 parecía una buena idea: mientras que White era una anomalía en Monument Records de Nashville, WarnerB era un sello con reputación de cultivar  rebeldes creativos con gusto por el mestizaje estilístico y White, con su fusión orgánica y conmovedora del rock, blues y sonidos country, era tan individual y diferente llegados a finales de los 60 y principios de los 70. Desde un punto de vista creativo, Tony Joe White tuvo una relación fructífera con el sello, ya que grabó tres excelentes álbumes para elllos, pero comercialmente, las cosas no fueron tan optimistas ya que ninguno de sus lanzamientos de WB obtuvo buenos resultados en las listas de éxitos, y pronto se agotó la gran odea. El Complete Warner Brothers Recordings es un conjunto de dos discos que incluye los tres álbumes de White para WB en su totalidad: Tony Joe White de 1971, The Train I'm On de 1972 y Homemade Ice Cream de 1973, junto con seis canciones que solo aparecieron en singles. En Tony Joe se muestra a White emparejado en el estudio con Peter Asher, quien en ese momento había producido un puñado de éxitos para James Taylor y luego trabajaría extensamente con Linda Ronstadt, y si bien parece una combinación curiosa, el álbum fue el más difícil, con rock ambientado en el repertorio WBross de White; La banda, reforzada en varios cortes por los Memphis Horns, tiene un ritmo sólido y conmovedor, "Atraparon al diablo y lo encarcelaron en Eudora, Arkansas", "Una noche en la vida de un zorro de pantano" y "Pantera Negra de los Pantanos" lo capturan en forma dura y funky, mientras que y "Hervidor de cobre" y "Papi" muestran que también podría entregar material más contemplativo. Con Jerry Wexler y Tom Dowd a los mandos y la mayor parte de la Sección de Ritmo de Muscle Shoals apoyándolo, "The Train I'm On" se siente más relajado, con la sensación de relax de domingo por la tarde que impregna estas sesiones,  incluso rocks como "Incluso a los trolls les encanta el rock and roll" y "300 libras de Hongry" tienen una vibra bluegrassie que pone la atención en el rollo y no en el rock (that puts the focus the roll, not the rock) y el más cercano, "El cantante de Gospel", suena a un Southerntan tan rico como cualquier otro T. J. White lanzado alguna vez.

   Por otro lado Homemade Ice Cream es el LP de sonido más informal de los presentados aquí, con White coproduciendo junto a Tom Dowd y Norbert Putnam y David Briggs como introductor de la banda de estudio. Algunas de las pistas suenan más a demos que a pistas finales ya pulidas, aunque eso también es parte de su atractivo. Hay un montón de soul nocturno en estas actuaciones, y son íntimas de una manera que el Funky Zorro del Pantano no siempre podía manejar en el estudio. Con excelentes notas de Ben Edmonds, esta es una excelente descripción de un período subestimado en la carrera de un artista igualmente a menudo subestimado, de modo que cualquier persona interesada en Tony Joe White haría bien en escuchar esto.
