Swamp Dogg

Jerry Williams, aka, "Swamp Dogg", is truly one of a kind. Nearly as eccentric as Salvador Dali. More idiosyncratic than Prince. And always provocative. An underground hero with a cult following who despite never placing an LP of his own on one of Billboard's charts is still living large.

Initially Jerry Williams was a conventional R & B songwriter, producer, engineer for Atlantic Records under the helm of Jerry Wexler and Phil Walden in the 1960s. He also recorded under the name Little Jerry Williams, scoring a few charters with "I'm The Lover Man" (1964), "Baby You're My Everything" (1965) and "Baby Bunny Sugar Honey" (1966). He had more success writing or producing For other artists. Gene Pitney hit #16 on the Billboard Pop Chart in 1968 with "She's A Heartbreaker" for example but these successes did not portend the transformation about to happen.
In a stroke of genius, Swamp Dogg was born in 1970 with "Total Destruction Of Your Mind", unfurling his disparate musical style (a crazier version of the kind of material Solomon Burke and the like were doing) and outspoken worldview. It was funky, it was catchy at times but only the single, "Mama's Baby, Daddy's Maybe" charted (#33 R & B). The surreal "Rat On", featuring the unflinching "God Bless America For What?" followed. The brilliance continued with equally "out there" LPs like "Cuffed, Collared, Tagged & Gassed" (1972), "Gag A Maggot" (1973) but began tapering off for the remainder of the 70s. All the while he started his own label Mankind Records, produced Doris Duke ("I'm A Loser" 1970, "Legend In Her Own Time" 1975), Freddie North ("Friend" 1972) and Z.Z. Hill ("The Brand New ZZ Hill").

In the 80s Swamp did more work for other artists than on himself, having released only a handful of records that decade. Starting his own label, S.D.E.G. (Swamp Dogg Entertainment Group), SDEG dropped records by himself ("I Asked For A Rope And They Threw Me A Rock"), Bobby McClure ("The Cherry LP"), Tommy Hunt ("Until My Arms Fall Off") . He also produced acclaimed records by Billy Price ("Can I Change My Mind"), Ruby Andrews ("Kiss This"), Irma Thomas ("Inbetween Tears") and Ruth Brown ("Black, Brown & Beautiful").

The 90s were even more sparse for new Swamp sides with only one new LP in the decade ("Surfin' In Harlem"). Fortunately he's cranked things up in the 00's. Following the middling "Re-Invention Of Swamp Dogg" (2000), Swamp made an impact in the Southern Soul market with "If I Ever Kiss He Can Kiss It Goodbye". In 2007 Swamp finally recorded and released an album that ranks with his classic material, "Resurrection".

**** The iconoclast Swamp Dogg is simply hard to categorize. Though vocally you can hear echoes of Jackie Wilson and Van Morrison his musical style is one of the most distinctive in the R & B world- R & B, Funk, Blues, Rock & Roll, Soul, Folk and so on. Initially he was hired by Atlantic Records as a producer and sometimes songwriter to create more basic Soul music in the 60s before Jerry Williams (given name) transformed into the incomparable Swamp Dogg. He achieved sheer brilliance (and wild eccentricity) right from the bat with 1970's "Total Destruction To Your Mind" which featured the classic "Synthetic World" and his one-and-only nationally charting record "Mama's Baby Daddy's Maybe" (R & B #33). He followed this up with a series of equally creative LPs ("Rat On", "Gag A Maggot", "Cuffed Collared & Tagged") featuring politically and racially charged gems like "Sam Stone", "God Bless America For What?", "Redneck", etc... Despite a decline in popularity with the mainstream he remained a cult figure and champion of afro-centric concerns up to the present day.

"Resurrection" is his most provocative (and best) offering in decades (and not just for the crucifixion photo that dons the cover). The protesting "In Time Of War Who Wins" opens the record at a time in American history where anti-war sentiments are high. Despite the message the track is a winding, horn-heavy slice of energetic Soul- that Swamp Dogg sound. Even more so the catchy "No Deposit No Return", a great first single choice while "They Crowned An Idiot King" is a thinly veiled diatribe against the current rulership. Sample lyric: "Your mama told you about good and evil/The preacher told you about greed/But the biggest power you have to bear is stupidity/They crowned an idiot king/They kissed his ring". Perhaps more direct is the funky "America Is Bleeding" that looks with a jaundiced eye at the state of his country. Swamp says abortion/politics/homosexuality/race/religion/war distracts the people as the culture is dying. Still the centerpiece of the record is the twelve minute titled track, an unflinching treatise on the history of Black folk in America. "The notion of 'resurrection' is Biblical. We will rise from the death imposed on us by the evil events of history...we will restore our communities to the peaceful oasis of yesterday.". Deep messages are fine but if the music isn't just as inspired...fortunately it is. The only complaint is it's placement smack dab in the middle of the record.

Not all of "Resurrection" is dire and serious being half the record consists of lovely Soul songs reflecting Swamp's feelings for his new wife ("Today I Got Married", "Soul To Blessed Soul", "Love Song 4 U")- which balance this record out. When I spoke to Swamp about the LP he called it "The best thing I've done since "Total Destruction"". He may just be right.

"The White Man Made Me Do It" (SDEG 2014)

The White Man Made Me Do It
Lying Lying Lying Woman
Hey Renae
You Send Me
Let Me Be Wrong
Your Cash Ain't Nothing But Trash
I'm So Happy
That's What Lonesome Is

*** The title track is a straight up history and civics lesson set to a grinding, mildly Funky rhythm. If that title sounds controversial well read on. Yep his ancestors came over as slaves and were treated abysmally and as lesser beings but "My hat's off to the white man/Cuz the white man he made me do it". Wait, what?!? He basically explains that slavery and Jim Crow made black people the great, successful people they are today because they had to be better than other races- mostly white- to survive. Black America is unequivocally a success story. Who else but the iconic Swamp could write a song like this!? Don't pop the champagne cork just yet. See, we may have had a black president but truth is "Prejudice Is Alive And Well". This song succinctly bookends and completes the epic title cut. The typically varied album includes Blues ("Let Me Be Wrong", "If That Ain't The Blues Nothing Is", "What Lonesome Is) and throws in some covers for good measure (and some light in between dark truths) like Sam Cooke's "You Send Me".
