Swamp Dogg is an American soul musician born on July 12, 1942 in Portsmouth, Virginia. With a career spanning over six decades, he has become a revered figure in the world of soul music. Known for his unique blend of R&B, funk, and country influences, Swamp Dogg's music is characterized by his powerful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics.

Influenced by artists such as *James Carr*, *O.V. Wright*, and *Doris Duke*, Swamp Dogg has carved out his own distinct sound that sets him apart from his contemporaries. His soulful performances have captivated audiences around the world, earning him a dedicated fan base.

With a discography that includes hits like "Total Destruction to Your Mind" and "Rat On!", Swamp Dogg continues to push boundaries and challenge musical norms. His collaborations with renowned musicians such as *Clarence Carter* and *Allen Toussaint* have further solidified his status as a true icon of soul music.

The 1973 soul classic. 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 sweetest love song "I Couldn't 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 Olander's drums, Little Beaver's guitar, even the horns of the Swamp Dogg Band maintain a fierce momentum that's not conventional at all. -ROBERT CHRISTGAU
