(BLUE VINYL) - Import LP Record","description":"\u003cp\u003eCredits:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwamp Dogg\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1975, disco was starting to take over the charts, and perhaps in hope that he might just sell a few records for a change, Jerry Williams (aka Swamp Dogg) kicked off his fifth album, Have You Heard This Story??, with a potent and funky dance groove called \"The Mind Does the Dancing While the Body Pulls the Strings\" that would have inspired plenty of booty-shaking if the lyrics hadn't been so weird -- which means we're talking about a fairly typical Swamp Dogg album. This time out, Williams delivers a super-sized portion of solid funk and soul with an equal share of eccentric philosophizing on the side as he discusses Jesus before He became a media phenomenon (\"When He Was No One\"), comes home to find his wife cheating on him with another woman (\"Did I Come Back Too Soon [Or Stay Away Too Long]\"), shares his experiences with an incompetent physician (\"Dr. MLG [JA]\"), and laments the sad state of our culture and our nation (\"Chewed Up Grass\" and \"God Ain't Blessing America\"). Swamp Dogg's experience as a studio hand is clearly evident; these songs are rooted in tough, sinewy rhythm beds that keep one foot on the dancefloor even as the lyrics head off into the twilight zone, and \"I Want a Lifetime of Loving You\" and \"I Wouldn't Leave Here to Go to Heaven\" demonstrate the man could write a straightforward R\u0026amp;B tune when he was of a mind. But as great as the music is, it's Williams' weird but wise broadsides on the world around him that set him apart, and if you've got a taste for his ranting, this will slake your thirst. ~ Mark Deming\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alive \/ Alive Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44991383863585,"sku":"634457120655","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/products\/634457120655.jpg?v=1682181576","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-fr\/products\/634457120655","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
