The article includes a few never-before-seen vintage photos, including Jerry at age 2 and a picture of him talking with Bobby "Blue" Bland. The issue can be purchased from the Living Blues website, which also includes a nod to this online discography you're now viewing: http://www.livingblues.com/ SWAMP DOGG WRITES A BOOK PROLOGUE Swamp Dogg has written the prologue to a new book, Espiritus en la Oscuridad: Viaje a la era soul, written by Andreu Cunill Clares and soon to be published in Spain by 66 rpm Edicions: http://66-rpm.com/ The jacket's front cover is a photo of Swamp Dogg in the studio with Tommy Hunt circa 1968. A translation of the summary from the book's jacket: Spirits in the Dark offers a fascinating journey to the golden age of soul music, and he does it by dividing its key areas created by territory. Andreu Cunill, collector publisher and scholar of the genre, crosses the United States of America from coast to coast and dissects with surgical precision what happened in a complex and variegated network of record labels, concert halls and recording studios, shedding light on key artists not always sufficiently recognized. Analyzing what happened on the ground, with information firsthand as provided by artists like Swamp Dogg, writing an illuminating foreword, the author writes a fundamental work to understand and fully enjoy a musical and sociological phenomenon of unparalleled quality. SWAMP DOGG TO PRODUCE FEDERICO GIOVANNETTI An April 2013 private email notes that Swamp Dogg is co-producing (with Moog Star) a young Italian soul singer named Federico Giovannetti. Guests on the CD include Leo Nocentelli (The Meters), Steve Cropper, James Alexander (The Bar-Kays), Sheila E. and a horn section lead by Lee Thornburg (Etta James, Tower of Power, Supertramp). SWAMP DOGG TO PRODUCE JOHN THE CONQUEROR In early 2013 the band John The Conqueror signed a contract to have Swamp Dogg produce their next album for Alive Naturalsound Records.
