Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Old Man Willis (Tony Joe White)
Interestingly, this song was more closely associated with country singer Nat Stuckey (although Tony Joe White wrote it), who had a minor country hit with it (and was also the title of an album) in 1970. Not a great recording....but at least when Nat did it, it didn't sound so much like Polk Salad Annie.
