Swamp Dogg - Hits Anthology [CD]

One of the most gifted and talented R&B producers / writers / artists of the last half century, Jerry Williams Jr. morphed into his alter ego Swamp Dogg in 1969 and proceeded to make some of the quirkiest, funkiest and most controversial underground funk albums since the dawn of funk. Recently, Swamp Dogg has been hailed as the Real Doggfather Of Funk by Spin Magazine, and has experienced a career resurgence with legions of fans rediscovering his highly original independently released albums. From his career as R&B vocalist Little Jerry Williams in the 1950's and early 1960's through his 1970's resurgence as Swamp Dogg, there is enough material to cover many "hits" anthologies. Presented here is a generous 24 track overview of Swamp Dogg / Jerry Williams performances mainly culled from the 1960's and 1970's with the exception of the rare track "Please Step Back," which was recorded in 2009. All selections have been newly remastered.
