A superb compilation that embraces the many sides of soul singer-writer-producer Jerry Williams Jr. (Swamp Dogg as he's known to friends, family and fans alike).
Since the mid 60s, Swamp has been responsible for creating some of the most inventive and innovative black American music that the world will ever see. [title]Blame It On The Dogg[/title] brings together hits and rarities from his early days as a staff producer and A&R man for Calla, Musicor and Cotillion Records, up to and including the independently-financed sessions from the mid-70s that established him as one of the genuine greats of soul music.
Many of the most important names to have enjoyed an association with Swamp are featured here - and collectors will be pleased to note that there are no track duplications with any other Swamp-related CD on Kent - as well as some of his best known songs. Also included - as a special bonus - is some previously unissued material that will make it a `must buy' for even the most ardent Swamp Dogg completists.
Swamp Dogg has been behind some of Kent's biggest selling CDs of the past few years, particularly those by Doris Duke and Irma Thomas. We hope that "Blame It On The Dogg" will be yet another block-buster title to add to those. 1. On Your Way Home - C & THE SHELLS
