"....A record label representative says Tony Joe White, the country bluesman and hit songwriter behind such successes as Polk Salad Annie and Rainy Night in Georgia, has died. He was 75.
A statement released Thursday from the record label Yep Roc Music Group said White's family confirmed the rocker died Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee. The label did not have any details on his cause of death. Yep Roc released his last album in September called Bad Mouthin', a collection of blues classics.
White, originally from Louisiana, had a hit in 1969 with Polk Salad Annie and his songs were covered by Elvis Presley, Hank Williams Jr., Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Waylon Jennings and many more....
