    Hoodoo is spellbinding stuff, a new high mark in a delightful late-career renaissance. [Oct 2013, p.64]

    From the heads down deliberation of Alligator, Mississippi to the teasing double entendre of Sweet Tooth, White’s music captures a particular time and place when pop and pretense weren’t necessarily intertwined.

    A true original, at his very best.

    At 70, he's still as intense and dangerous as all hell. [Oct 2013, p.95]

    Stylistically, White may be a one-trick alligator, but it's a damn pleasing one.

    As appealing as the lived-in, swampy jams are, there's a laziness that drifts throughout Hoodoo, apparent in the sauntering rhythms and Tony Joe's mush-mouthed vocals.
