Release Notes:
Her Dad, legendary Tony Joe White ("Polk Salad
Annie" and "Rainy Night in Georgia"), says her
voice is like Sade hanging out with John Lee
Hooker. Hanging on a mic, or quietly revealing
herself behind her old Wurlitzer piano, or prancing
like a wild horse, her fiery and raw stage
performance has been compared to that of Janis
Joplin, Mick Jagger, and Tina Turner. With soul
baring lyrics and haunting melodies, her writing
has been compared to Van Morrison and Neil Young.
Her biggest fans say you can't compare her to
anyone. In a world of fabricated pop stars,
Michelle White shines like the real thing.
The songstress joins forces with her father for her
latest album, a mixture of soul, blues, country,
jazz, and Spanish influences. They recorded in an
old Victorian house in Tennessee, for 4 days, along
with veteran musicians Ollie Marland on piano and
co-production, Jack Bruno on drums, Michelle's long
time upright bassist Joey Zimmerman, and Tony Joe
on guitar. Michelle's brother, Jody, ran the
boards, and they captured the happening all on an
old analogue tape machine, old school style,
blending some modern ideas in the mixing room.
Michelle has a duet with Tony Joe on his new album,
THE HEROINES, which features duets by Emmylou
Harris, Shelby Lynne, Jessi Colter, and Lucinda
Williams. This album was released world wide on
Sanctuary Records last fall to spectacular acclaim.
She was reared in the musical hotbeds of South
Texas and Memphis, Tennessee, surrounded by famous
recording artists and brilliant musicians. "I was
influenced very deeply by all of the music I heard
growing up," she says.
" I spent most of my days in the 'music room'.
There were late night phone calls from Elvis, and
the best musicians hanging out playing music and
listening to music. I learned to run the reel to
reel machine at a very early age." Michelle has
worked with many of those brilliant musicians and
Grammy award winning producer, John Leventhal, on
her first album, "Memphis" which was released to
critical acclaim and established a cult following
in Europe.
She has played the prestigious Midem in Cannes and
France's most famous hall, Bercy, opening for Toto
for tens of thousands of people with only her
Wurlitzer and bassist. Most recently, Michelle
performed live for the BBC in England, and played
the infamous Borderline in London, as well as
various blues festivals in Europe and local hot
spots in L.A. and Nashville.
