The Lover Man


Here's another installment for the Songbook Series ... a deep dip with the mercurial, magical and immensely talented Jerry Williams Jr. (aka Swamp Dogg). In addition to an accomplished recording career of his own -- and still currently at it -- Williams is a phenomenal songwriter, producer and arranger with an incredibly impressive list of titles to his credit. This is exemplified especially by his work with several southern soul singers from the late 60s through to the late 70s, with much of it made available via ACE/Kent Records and similar outfits. This two part collection of various artists will surely feature some crossover with these releases but also traverses some uncharted territory, plus I've included a third volume of entirely 'Dogg does Dogg' recordings. A few years back, with a fairly thorough account, I featured Williams/Swamp Dogg on the main site with a bio curated primarily from Wiki and the ramblings of the mighty Sir Shambling in the 9th and 10th parts of his feature on Quinvy Studios. I'll let the newcomers suss it out themselves if not already familiar with this satirical, sensual, political and occasionally polarizing tour de force of an artist. Here, as always with the Songbook Series, we focus on material written by Williams but make no mistake ... he's also the producer and/or arranger on many of the recordings featured here and plays piano on more than three dozen of the included titles. Enjoy!

Short Vacation




I'll be back at it next weekend with a new edition of Deep Dish Delicacies. In the meantime, perhaps someone out there can fill a special request for me? Looking for the compilation linked below. FLAC, WAV or AIFF is certainly preferred but I would be grateful for anything audible. Thanks, here's hoping.
