SWAMP DOGG - Rat On!-1971 SOUTHERN SOUL-CLASSIC BLACK vinyl LP

RAT ON! (1971), was ranked as having one of the top ten worst album covers of all time, an achievement that Swamp Dogg is rightfully proud of.

Vocally, Swamp Dogg sounds like a cross between General Johnson (of Chairmen of the Board) and Van Morrison; as a songwriter, he's his own man. With the exception of Sly Stone, no other soul men of the period were investigating controversial topics with such infectious musicality and good humor. – AMG

A unique blend of in-the-pocket cheatin' soul and defiantly pessimistic civil rights anthems. – Mojo (4 stars)
