Swamp Dogg
Gag A Maggot
Reissued for the very first time since its original release in 1973. "Thematically, this seems to be a fairly conventional soul LP -- great cover of In the Midnight Hour and lots of love and money in the lyrics. Granted, Wife Sitter is as nasty as Jody songs get, mostly because Dogg plays the cuckold-making Jody with such relish. And to call your sweeest love song I Couldnt Pay for What I Got Last Night is to combine the two themes more intimately than most soul men consider necessary. Nor do most soul men drive so hard -- Ivan Olanders drums, Little Beavers guitar, even the horns of the Swamp Dogg Band maintain a fierce momentum thats not conventional at all." - Robert Christgau (Dean Of American Rock Critics)
