The gator’s got your granny! CHOMP! CHOMP CHOMP! A definitive swamp rocker from Oak Grove, Louisiana’s Tony Joe White was based on a misspelling. “Polk salad” is actually poke sallet, a type of green salad plant (no, it isn’t pot) that really does grow wild. The single, produced by Billy Swan (“I Can Help”), languished for nine months before finally taking off. First time I heard this was on CKLW where the DJ, Super Max Kinkel, gave the listeners a heads up on what to listen for, like the wah-wah at the end. I never forgot how to involve the listeners when I got into radio.
