After more than fifty years of playing music, handfuls of chart topping singles, and collaborations with some of the most revered musicians of the century, White is set to release a brand new album, Hoodoo.

Culled from an initial stack of roughly seventeen tunes, the nine songs that comprise _Hoodoo _come alive in the haunting atmosphere and intensity of the stripped-down recording process. Cut mostly live to tape - vocals and all - much of the album consists of first takes.

“There’s some actual magic that came over all of us when we were doing this,” White recalls. “I would sit down with my drummer Cadillac [Bryan Owings] and my bass player the Troll [Steve Forrest], play twenty seconds of the tune, and then say ‘We’re gonna hit record, and you just play what comes into your heart.’ It’s like everyone is getting the hoodoo sensation. Spontaneity is beautiful.”

Hoodoo features autobiographical songs about his life growing up on farm and learning the blues (‘9 Foot Sack’), cautionary tales of rural Mississippi (‘Alligator, Mississippi’), and a tale of his trek homeward after the Nashville flood of 2010 (‘The Flood’).
