Tony Joe White plays rare concert at Jammin’ Java

If you wonder what people mean when they say someone has a velvet voice, just listen to Tony Joe White.

Even his speaking voice is so rich and full that you can’t help but almost become mesmerized in it. Add to that his incredible songwriting catalog — full of hits including “Rainy Night in Georgia” and “Willie and Laura Mae Jones” for artists ranging from Elvis Presley to Tina Turner — and you have the making for an incredible concert.
