15) Rainy Night In Georgia - 16:23
(T. J. White / Combine Music Corp., BMI)

While driving along on a lonely South Georgia highway at sixteen years old on a rainy night back in 1970, this current hit then by Brook Benton caused this to be my favorite song ever written. I never forgot that haunting lyric. It definitely felt as if it was “raining all over the world”. Many didn’t realize at the time that Tony Joe White was the guy who wrote this classic, about the same time he wrote “Polk Salad Annie”. I took the liberty of creating the solo at the end just to maintain the wonderful mood of the song.
