  1. Swamp Dogg - Total Destruction To Your Mind

    This was the first Swamp Dogg LP I bought. Picked up from the second hand department upstairs at Downtown Records in Romford, where I got so many great records, on the strength of the sleeve photo, I went back and bought the bulk of my Swamp Dogg collection at the next available opportunity.

    This was his debut LP after assuming the Swamp Dogg identity. It’s the most (Southern) soulful - musically, at least - of his albums, and my favourite. The title track is one of my al-time favourite tunes.

  5. Swamp Dogg - Rat On!

    I like a record that seethes with anger. Swamp Dogg is an artist who, despite his often clownish persona, has a foundation of rage, and – when that breaks through – he seethes so well.

    This album, for example, is more famous for it’s sleeve, which always features in those worst record cover lists. However, it contains God Bless America For What – a song so simmering with rage, it's breathtaking. There’s no ambiguity about this one – no-one’s mistakenly singing along with this one at MAGA rallies. It’s a lyric that got him (what we would now call) shadow-banned by his record label and sued by Irving Berlin Foundation – all grist to the Swamp Dogg anger mill.

    Rat On! is probably the quintessential Swamp Dogg album: it sits right at the intersection of soul, blues, rock and country, has songs about complicated personal entanglements, race, politics, a perfect cover version (The Bee-Gees’ Got To Get A Message To You), some kind of self-aggrandising statement in the sleeve notes, and an eccentric cover.
