This week I feature the founding father of idiosyncratic soul, a pioneering R&B musician, and kindhearted artist Jerry Williams Jr. aka Swamp Dogg! We chat about his most recent album, Sorry You Couldn’t Make It, how he got started in music opening for musicians like Sam Cooke, and how he got the name Swamp Dogg during a self-discovery journey. We also listen to the new album in full!
Tune in!
