| Pink vinyl first pressing! The White Man Made Me Do It" is Swamp Doggs new album, and his first soul record in decades. Over the course of 14 songs, and with the help of a cast of veteran soul greats, the idiosyncratic performer re-captures the spirit of his 70s cult recordings. "The White Man Made Me Do It" mixes classic Southern soul grooves with pointed, poignant lyrics, reflecting upon race, love, and money. As usual Swamp demonstrates his savage sense of humor and his instinctive aversion to hypocrisy. "The White Man Made Me Do It" finds Swamp Dogg once again marrying humorous social commentary and groovy soul. As a musician, Swamp Dogg has become "one of the great cult figures of 20th century American music", according to AllMusic critic Steven Thomas Erlewine, due in large part to his boundary-pushing, edgy, and gut-bustiingly funny social commentary. The White Man Made Me Do It, his latest LP, continues on in this vein, displaying all of the inimitable Swamp Dogg traits. |
