In this article Id like to discuss some tips on how to play Polk Salad Annie by Tony Joe White.
Tony Joe White also wrote the hit song Rainy Night In Georgia. You may be more familiar with the song Polk Salad Annie
because Elvis Presley and Tom Jones both recorded the song.
Tony Joe White wrote this song and recorded it himself back in 1968. It was a top 10 peaking at #8 on the charts.
Because of growing up poor in that moss covered swampland area in Louisiana, White admits that Polk Salad was whipped
up a time or two .. and says Polk Salad tastes a little like spinach.
Polk Salad Annie was almost a flop when first released. It took nine months to enter the charts and the record label considered it history. But folks in Texas kept wanting copies to buy, record stores were calling and orders had to be shipped from Nashville. When a guy in LA got hold of it, things started to happen for the song.

Kirby Style
As you'll see when you check out the demo clip or the free tabs, this song is played using only E, A, G chord.
In the beginning, the partial formation of the E chord is slid up and down the fretboard using the index and
ring fingers only. During the break, two minor variations of the E chord are used.
I go into more detail on these slides and chord variations in the full version tutorial available from the link below.

How To Play Rhythm For Polk Salad Annie
You can use all downstrokes for the verses. When you hit the chorus, I use a dn-dn-up-dn-up-dn-up-dn-up -
slide-dn-dn-up-dn-up-dn-up-dn-up .. the slide meaning a 1/2 step slide into the A7. And then the last half
of the chrorus can be played using downstrokes as you get back into the intro.
