More Info:

CD reissue. Jerry Williams AKA Swamp Dogg wrote songs in the '70s and '80s that described the times. About war, discrimination and even religion. Here Swamp Dogg delivers a super-sized portion of solid funk and soul on his fifth album with an equal share of eccentric philosophizing on the side. He discusses for example Jesus before He became a media phenomenon ("When He Was No One"). The slow funky groover "Did I Come Back Too Soon (Or Stay Away Too Long)", which tells the story of the inattentive lover who comes home to find his wife cheating on him with another woman! The slow, bluesy driver "Dr. M.L.G. (J.A.)" is a story about an incompetent physician. And the soulful "My Hang-Ups Ain't Hung-Up No More".
