Swamp Dogg - Gag A Maggot (1973)

Swamp Dogg (born Jerry Williams, Jr.), is one of the deepest of the deep soul singers. Described as “Wilson Pickett meets Frank Zappa in a bad mood,” and known for his dubious album covers, his association with the anti-Vietnam movement (allegedly) put him on Nixon’s enemies list. Swamp wrote or co-wrote hits for Gene Pitney, Johnny Paycheck, and a host of others. You might have heard his music in samples on tracks by Talib Kweli and the Jurassic 5.

Thanks so much for this post. Is it me or is the first track kinda messed up? Music cuts in after a couple of seconds as if the rip started late. But otherwise, way t'go! Swamp Dogg fans unite!
