5.0 out of 5 stars Finally A TJW Box Set !!, December 15, 2006

Granted there is more to Tony Joe White than is provided in this box set. But,if you are a fan of his older work then this is for you. There are several alternate versions , some good, some not so good. And of course there are some killer covers such as WHAT DOES IT TAKE, WICHITA LINEMAN, LITTLE GREEN APPLES. Don't forget Tony's original works such as Roosevelt and Ira Lee, Rainy Night in Georgia and of course Polk Salad Annie. This is a true gem and it's been a long time coming !!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection - get it before it's gone, November 2, 2007

This review is from: Swamp Music: the Complete Monument Recordings (Audio CD)

This is one of those Rhino handmade releases, so grab it before it sells out. Nifty package, great sound (significantly better than previous versions of this material I've heard), and as the reviewer notes, a LOT of bonus stuff - singles, b-sides, alternate versions, unreleased studio and live stuff. If you're a Tony Joe fan, this is an indispensable set - these three albums are available elsewhere for less, but 'Swamp Music' offers better sound and lots of extras.
