Veteran agent Tony Joe said he and several colleagues intend to continue wearing masks, using sanitizer and pre-qualifying would-be buyers before they shop for new homes. “That hasn’t changed and probably shouldn’t change,” Joe said, adding no one should expect to see a rash of open houses on weekends just because they are once again allowed. “If ever there was a time to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of open houses it has been the past 16 months,” he said, noting only a tiny percentage of homes sell as a result of an open house and not having them over the past year and a half has had no ill effect on home sales.

(Easy Eye Sound, 1/2) Polk Salad Annie by Elvis, Rainy Night in Georgia by Brook Benton, Steamy Windows by Tina Turner â Tony Joe White is probably best-known through others versions of his songs. But the Louisiana-born Swamp Fox, who died at 75 in 2018, was a mesmerizing performer in his own right. Smoke From the Chimney contains nine White guitar-and-voice demos fleshed out by producer Dan Auerbach with his usual stable of Nashville studio aces. The Black Keys frontman does a terrific job of capturing the deep-voiced singer s brooding swamp-rock essence, giving this American original a worthy send-off.
Of course, it helps that White is in top form as a writer. The title song is a poetic evocation of grappling with old age and mortality, Listen to Your Song imparts a hard-earned lesson, and Scary Stories conjures a goosebump-inducing sense of menace.
